Amazon just cares about the lowest bid. They still use LaserShip, for example, who has a long-standing and well-earned reputation for being the worst shipping service ever.<p>I got something sent next-day via Amazon recently and LaserShip made an extremely half-assed first attempt. I had to  spend an hour on the phone with a LaserShip rep and pass my phone number along to the driver (who is an independent contractor) to get a second attempt that same day, after they tried to punt it to the next day with no guarantee that a better delivery attempt would be made (I live in a no-doorman apartment building).<p>The interesting thing is that I wouldn&#x27;t have even have been able to complain to Amazon until LaserShip noted that they completed delivery -- so I could have spent days or weeks in limbo.<p>If there were checkboxes on Amazon where I could choose which carriers they couldn&#x27;t use, I would...even if I had to pay the difference in shipping.
