F-you usps

I stopped using it. I have sent some packages FedEx and they have gotten across country in half the time of USPS. Wondering if Amazon should take over mail delivery?

I’d be curious how UPS and fedex are successful (at least I don’t hear about cash issues and debt from them). What are they doing that USPS is not, or vice versa.

Lettermail. Canada Post will likely go out of business here because they are required by charter to provide lettermail to anyone in Canada. Lettermail postage is the same to send across the street as it is for 4600km away. Parcels they can charge based on location, but not for lettermail. There has been some rumblings to get rid of lettermail all together here to save the post office.

What will people do if they can’t write a letter…?

I’ve posted it here before, USPS was ruined back in the mid 2000s by Congress… go read up on the history, it was all downhill from there because they got fscked hard!

It’s funny how a service every single American uses somehow ā€œdoesn’t have enough moneyā€ when an unlimited budget is available for other things.

There was some talks years ago about Amazon buying either Fedex or Ups.
