    None of them want to say it, so they’re making excuses.

    Sales are plunging. The poors are broke, and have stopped buying crap they don’t need.

    It’s not going to get better anytime soon, either.

    I’m not sure I understand. UPS delivers packages for money. They don’t want to deliver small packages for any amount of money?

    How long until FedEx does the same? Amazon has never delivered to my rural address. I guess if you’re out of range you’re just SOL?

      Amazon has become a competitor to UPS since they started their own delivery services. This lead to UPS cutting ties with Amazon. I guess Amazon will have to complete the rollout of their own delivery services to your area and others like yours.

        A drone hovers over your remote country home. Is it Amazon delivering a package? Is it an enthusiastic hobbyist with a voyeurism fetish? Is it a particularly modern version of religious hawkers? Is it the New York Times seeking subscriptions? Is it ICE?

        Could be anything.
