Petition: Help Alleviate the Burden on Rural USPS Services Caused by Amazon’s Delivery Methods

As the holiday season approaches, with more people than ever turning to online shopping for their Christmas gifts, a pressing issue casts a shadow over America’s rural communities. Since 2013, Amazon’s contract with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for package deliveries has increasingly placed an unbearable strain on our already overburdened rural postal workers. This overwhelming demand is not only disrupting the delivery of regular mail but also putting excessive pressure on small, local post offices that are the lifeline of these communities.

Please sign this petition to demand the U.S. Postal Service and lawmakers alleviate the burden on rural USPS services caused by Amazon’s delivery demands.
