in San Francisco arrive in actual Amazon vans. Most others are UPS. Very few are sent via USPS.
We also have Amazon lockers all over town for people who fear stuff getting stolen or who want to pick up stuff near work, etc. We used to have the traveling Amazon Treasure Truck with special deep sales on stuff, that would park in certain places for a couple of hours and move on to the next place. Amazon stopped it because of the virus.
