I don't know if Amazon is a good deal for the post office or not, but I do know that if Amazon didn't use the post office, there would be thousands of post office workers out of a job. Sorry, but articles in the New York Times and on NPR don't always sat "truth" to me. I love Amazon, use it a lot, and also love Prime, even with the modest increase in price. I recently needed to replace four backup batteries in my smoke alarms, and found that two 9 volt batteries cost $7.99 at a retailer in The Villages, I purchased four batteries on Amazon for a total of $6.99, no tax, shipped for free, arriving two days later.
