Sunday delivery: love it or hate it?
)
July 2nd, 2016
The USPS inaugurated Sunday deliveries in the run-up to Christmas 2015. I thought it was only for the season. Now it seems to have become routine for Amazon Prime.
If I could opt out of it, I would. Rarely have I ever needed anything that fast, and even if I did, it wouldn’t hurt to wait a day.
What’s more, I do not want my doorbell to ring and wake me up at 9:30 on Sunday morning, especially when I’m not going to read that book or don that shirt right then anyway. I prefer knowing that there’s one day a week when I can safely ignore the doorbell, instead of worrying that a parcel left conspicuously on the doorstep is likely to get stolen.
And I don’t ever want a drone to bring me anything, unless it’s life-saving medicine in a situation too dire even to contemplate at present.
How do you feel about Sunday deliveries? Welcome instant gratification or totally unnecessary marketing gimmick?
Tags as I wrote them: parcels, USPS, Amazon, deliveries, Sundays, consumer demands, overzealous marketing.
