While I no longer live in the Albuquerque area, I was wondering, for curiosity, for those who live in the Albuquerque area, what shipping carrier does Amazon mostly use for your Prime orders?
When I had the free trial with Prime when I lived in Albuquerque I mostly got UPS.
With my current paid Prime membership where I live now, I usually get the Amazon+USPS last mile service, where Amazon's linehaul network transports the package from their fulfillment center to our local post office and the USPS makes the last mile delivery. We do occasionally get UPS and OnTrac, and got FedEx once.
As far as I know Amazon Logistics (the contracted delivery service using the white vans with the Amazon logo) does not exist in Albuquerque. While we do have those vans in the Phoenix area our address is outside their delivery range which is why we don't get them for our orders.
I wonder if anything has changed ever since I have moved out of Albuquerque. I know that Amazon over the years has become less dependent on UPS and FedEx and more dependent on USPS and Amazon Logistics; I wonder if this is the case in Albuquerque.
If my theory is correct, cities that are in proximity to Amazon fulfillment or sortation centers are more likely to use USPS (actually Amazon+USPS) or Amazon Logistics for Prime orders, while cities that are further away will more likely use UPS or FedEx is what I am guessing. We have both fulfillment and sortation centers in the Phoenix area, so it makes sense that we would get most of our orders using the Amazon+USPS shipping method.
As a side question, which fulfillment center do most orders come out of for most orders going to Albuquerque? Obviously since I live in the Phoenix area most of our orders come from one of our local fulfillment centers, however, we do get quite a bit from the fulfillment centers in Southern California as well.
I asked this in one of my posts in this thread, but was apparently missed: which fulfillment centers do Albuquerque-bound Amazon items normally ship out of? Since I live in the Phoenix area we get most of ours from one of the Phoenix-area fulfillment centers, however, a significant portion comes from the fulfillment centers in Southern California as well.

Almost without fail for ground stuff, PHX.
A fair amount of airfreight comes from Amazon centers near Louisville, KY.
