In a win-win-win situation, the U.S. Postal Service will begin delivering packages from Amazon.com on Sundays to people who just can’t wait until Monday.

The bad news? The Sunday delivery is currently only available in Los Angeles and the New York metropolitan areas, according to a press release: Service to a large portion of the U.S. population, including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Phoenix, is expected to rollout next year.

“If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can order a backpack for your child on Friday and be packing it for them Sunday night,” Dave Clark, Amazon’s vice president of worldwide operations and customer service, said in a release. “We’re excited that now every day is an Amazon delivery day and we know our Prime members, who voraciously shop on Amazon, will love the additional convenience they will experience as part of this new service.”

Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer, added, “With this new service, the Postal Service is now delivering packages seven days a week in select cities. Customers can expect the same reliable and valued service that the Postal Service currently provides.”

For the USPS, the deal can only help its cash-strapped situation. From USA Today:

The postal service expects to deliver 420 million packages this holiday season, a 12% increase over last year, but it is in a precarious financial condition. The organization lost $15.9 billion in its last fiscal year and expects a loss of $6 billion this year.

While Los Angeles and the areas near New York enjoy Sunday Amazon packages, the whole of America waits impatiently for its shipment of booze to be authorized.
