Excellent idea.
I’m wondering how UPS and FedEx stay competitive, since UPS is unionized and FedEx is not. FedEx is slightly cheaper most of the time, but only slightly. The post office isn’t even close.
Be prepared for a looooong strike, then bankruptcy.
Look at the FedEx trucks then look at the UPS trucks. UPS is something out of the 1930’s. They are headed into oblivion like the Railway Express Agency.
The Postal Service has Media Mail, an economical rate, approximately $2.61 for postage for a small bubble wrap envelope (2 for one dollar at the dollar store) to mail a DVD or small book within continental US, no letter or other communication inside. For larger media mail items, say a DVD collection an inch thick, you can buy cardboard case at the dollar store and tape to wrap the ends, mail for approximately $4.61 or 4.81, something like that.
Smith, the founder of FedEx is smart enough to keep his employees well paid {in most cases higher than UPS} without union goons hassling him.
The payroll is only part of the equation, giving stock options as bonuses keep the work force involved with the success of the company.
FedEx was one of my accounts in the early part of the 21st century and I saw first hand how engaged almost all of FedEx people were in the successful operation of the company. They really care about the FedEx customer, and that translates into real, long term, success.
