Both shipped by USPS.
What’s weird is 2nd one disappeared from Amazon orders, unless I search it, then it shows shipped by USPS.

Medication by mail never worked well for me. I would rather go to a local drugster.

My insurance wants me to use mail order medicines, so they charge me more to pick it up from my local pharmacy. Costing me $21 month more right now. Bunch of people at work complained, so one of the managers took down people’s grievances with our health plan. Nothing changed this year, and that manager moved to a different company.

Same here.
The insurance I use has only 2 "preferred" pharmacies...their mail order or a supermarket chain, the nearest store of which is an hour's drive away. Since our doctor wrote all prescriptions for a 3 month supply, it's easy enough to combine mine and my wife's refills into one visit, make a day trip out of it. This particular supermarket is much nicer than anything nearby, so we do our "stock up" grocery run at the same time.

I use Costco pharmacy and they use Canada Post. I'm not a fan of Canada Post as a company other than our local delivery driver is great. I've not had a problem.......yet.........Mike

Wow. Kaiser HMO here. Their emphasis is preventive medical care to reduce the need for treatment, and they're pretty good at it.
None of those pharmacy hassles. Walk downstairs from clinic to pharmacy and they are already preparing your order, your name appears on a message board in a few minutes. Pay $5~$10 deductible sometimes, and walk out. It's rare to be asked to pay retail for a prescription and their generic Iboprufin, allergy medicine, etc that is non prescription is inexpensive. Mailorder similar. Everything (in our experience) gets mailed out by their regional pharmacy by next day. What you pay to subscribe, covers all the BS so you never see an invoice.
Health care treatment likewise, usually a $10 fee as you check in for anything then never an invoice or discussion of cost.
Going into Kaiser can feel like the DMV but that's just the screening counter, the medical professionals are excellent.
I hope it isn't too political to say Kaiser has been looked at as a model for lower cost health care.

Ordered a tire for my suburban. It showed up today. I guess i was expecting it in a box, but it was just a tire laying on the front steps with a label on it. Looked kinda funny. Too bad I didn't have an old couch out there for them to set it on.
