What about you?CA-35 said:Don't shoot the messenger but the USPS can't do it either without losing money. You cannot deliver door to door for 50 cent. No business in the world could survive. They need to stop the door to door delivery...it's killing them.
And I like that part about keeping OOPS and Federal Distress honest.
Don't let your passion cloud your judgement Al. They can't do it and they continue to lose money trying to do it. Doctors use to make house calls too and they stopped that. Did people die because of it? No. They use to home deliver ice and milk but now you go to the grocer. Will it be harder for some to get to the Post Office to p/u the mail? Yes, sorry, that's what Taxi Cabs and Family are for. The USPS needs to think outside the proverbial home mail "box".
Let me ask you this question. What mail do you get at home that isn't junk mail or solicitations anyway?? All my bills come electronically. Every one. I have no use for my mail box. Family sends e-mail. Gifts come UPS or FED X.
They will continue to lose market share to competitors that blow them away with customer service, package tracking, and ON TIME deliveries. They will continue to lose businesses that use to buy bulk mailings that now reach more people more frequently because of electronic media. Are they considerably more expensive? Yes. But you get what you pay for. It's not personal, I love my Postman, it's business.
