Since Amazon relies heavily on USPS is this move going to affect operations here?
I thought that was a selling point to them?

Amazon uses Fedex for most of its shipments. At least that is what i was told when I interviewed with them.

It looks like they will leave the Post Office open but close the sorting facility. Hopefully it won't hurt the local businesses. The article said they closed the encoding center at Eastgate in 2009. It was in the old Sears bargain basement building. I didn't realize it had closed.
I am in and out of post offices all over town and the Shallowford Road center is usually one of the most efficient, after East Ridge. I do my most of my personal stuff online but for business purposes, I find USPS to be efficient and trust worthy. Hopefully these cuts will get their numbers where they need to be.

Handle what your constitutionality mandated to do,
DELIVER THE MAIL! Not over night packages, Not If it fits it ships, There is two major companies that do that, and do it quite well.
Deliver the freaking mail thats all your required to do by law.
If it is over 16 onces let the other guys do it.
