Speaking of deliveries, online retailer Amazon recently announced an exclusive partnership with the U.S. Postal Service for Sunday deliveries of its orders. The new Sunday deliveries are already in effect; however, they'll be limited to the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas during this holiday season. A New York Times article on the deal notes that the Postal Service describes the agreement as an important step to expand and diversify services that render profits.
