Because of course.

Amazon must have turned down one of Mikey Cohen's special offers.

Amazon should pay their fair share for postage instead of having the post office eat part of the cost. This is coming from someone who sells on Amazon and could see my seller fees go up as a result.

They just built a new DC near my home. I have never sen anything like the speed and efficiency with which that DC went up. in just a matter of a few months. Yes Amazon should. They use smart post a lot. Fedex delivers to the post office and they deliver as mail .

Post office gave Amazon a great deal to get their business.  Maybe too great a deal.  Whose fault is that?

But if Obama had done it it you’d be complaining.

That's the best you've got? I have always been against government subsidizing businesses no matter who the president is.

Didn’t the Seattle city council just pass a pretty big tax on Amazon?

That’s better than anything I’ve seen you come up with.

  Half the products I've looked at on Amazon in the last few months have several reviews saying they are fake/counterfeit/knockoff. One of Amazons problems recently is they don't verify the "fulfilled by Amazon" products that 3rd party shippers send in and those products end up in the warehouse in general inventory. It leaves them open to scammers and hurts everybody. They are going to have bigger fish to fry than head taxes and postage prices. If they don't get this under control they may not have to worry about any kind of shipping at some point. People love the price, but not when you are getting low quality knock off junk.
