I wanted to mail a small box that used to cost me about 5.00 to mail and they wanted 13.00 to mail it! That was more than UPS with insurance and real tracking.

Yes. More and more I find that FedEx is now often cheaper than the Post Office.

Plus, FedEx has never lost a package sent to me or from me, and the packages arrive in the time frame they promise...and a tracking number doesn't cost extra. Not so for the Postal Service.

I was thinking that packages might give the post office a chance of surviving in some form, now, not so much.
