I worked as a holiday clerk at USPS near me, I wanted to see what goes on behind the scenes. Amazon does ship 10,000s of packages every day through USPS. Most people are sending packages priority mail even after the holidays and once they arrive at the locate site packages are sorted by hand ( the way they are sorted is a cage is centered on the floor then scanned and tossed into large Ben's, done at a very fast pace in order to get them to the carriers for that day's delivery) I may get in trouble for saying this, but it is what happens and Iam not working there now. Live animals are handled differently than hatching eggs, they are kept separately from everything else.However, there is no way to know what is in packages. Doesn't Amazon either deliver their own or use FED-EX or USP anyway? Never seen an amazon package come thru the USPS. The chicks are in a "safe place" where they ARE. I understand that the hatcheries likely aren't set up for house them, Not as many as they hatch! but that isn't the USPS's fault either. SOMETHING needs to happen to try to get the USPS un-screwed! If this is what it takes, it is what it is.
