I looked into it but with gas as expensive as it is and my truck has a 23 gallon tank I'd likely be paying for my gas and snacks and not actually making money. It's a weird system they have too. It's not like UPS, FedEx or USPS where you load your packages for the day and deliver them. 

Look up Amazon Flex if you're curious.

Forgive me, but I’m a bit confused.  Amazon Is having issues with help/drivers and you’re getting packages 10 days out.  That, for Amazon’s standards is way out of the norm unless you’re buying stuff from sellers that don’t keep their inventory at a fulfillment center.  You brought up gas prices and your truck.  Have you entertained the idea of delivering?  Like you said, with USPS, UPS and FedEx, those drivers are just drivers/deliverers.  They don’t load their trucks.  I know that because I’ve loaded for UPS inbetween my discretions that led to me being fired from a [BLEEP] office job to my current job that I actually like.  
Either way, call them up, they’ll give you a credit of some sorts.  I hear their CS isn’t as good here lately from when I called.  But they answered fairly quick and once Anil or Kenton, whatever the Indian man’s name was did give me a credit.  But I also didn’t have my package arrive as late as yours.  

Another thing to take into account is local weather and such. That and if it is a third party, is your package out on the west coast?  That or you happen to have a lazy [BLEEP] driver that does the bare minimum.

Everyone in my county (except the northern part) is having the same problem. Several have called already and get varying degrees of the same answer- delivery driver issues. We're still trying to figure out if it's Amazon fulfillment or seller fulfillment that is the problem. 

I also loaded trucks for UPS many years ago. That was a hard job. Not for the weak in mind or body. 

Amazon Flex drivers do things differently than other delivery companies. It's really weird.
