They are more able/willing to put packages into my mailbox, and if they do mess up the delivery, the post office is usually closer than a parcel service depot out in a remote corner of a remote suburb. In fact, one of the reasons I prefer ordering from Amazon directly as opposed to most other online shops, or third-party shops selling through Amazon, is that I know that Amazon will send my stuff using the standard postal service. (Or at least, it used to be that way.) You mileage will vary according to your country's postal service, of course.
