What’s this idiots e-mail address?
Why not raise the price of postage to $10 per letter? That should bring in plenty of money for six, or even seven day service.
Another one requiring a double take as it seems to be from The Onion or similar. Amazing.
Canada post dropped Saturday delivery decades ago when it was still called Royal Mail. We somehow managed to survive.
>> Their goal is to stop Congress from reducing postal delivery to five days a week.
Congress’ treatment of USPS is appalling. But not surprising given USPS revenue is tied to counter sales, not taxation.
USPS must make the tough decisions any corporation is required to make in tough economic times. Hope it arrives at a commercially successful point. I wish USPS well.
Jamie Partridge? Was he the drummer?
96 hours?
Weak.
They need to go for 96 days.
USPS claims they suffer because of Email and the digital age. BS, BS, BS!!!! What about Ebay, Amazon and all the online retailer business generated by the Internet? They dare not mention their FAT CAT PENSION liabilities, oh no!!
“What third-world country is this happening in?” I wondered...
I sent a package priority mail from Seattle to Los Angeles on Monday. According to tracking it didn’t leave Seattle until Wednesday. It has yet to be delivered. And you can’t get a refund.
They can run the Post office six days a week...
Service homes three days a week instead of six... Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday... nobody will miss the junk mail for a day...
Double the size of the area they cover.
Save the overhead cost by 50 % of the route delivery personnel and the fleet..
These clowns would probably go on a hunger strike to save the Pony Express...
Half of the folks get M-W-F the other half get T-Th-Sat.
Good. Most of them could stand to lose weight anyway! :)
My local postmaster has gone way beyond proving the Peter Principle to be true. Just in speaking with him I wonder, why/how did he ever get promoted to postmaster? Answer: union.
My local rural service was so bad I fought back the only way I know how: I got a box at the UPS store in town. Yes, it costs $12/month but I now get all my mail and packages promptly. And, amazingly, my Netflix movies now arrive.
IMHO, they need to drop Saturday delivery completely and cut weekdays back to every other day.
And to the idiots on a hunger strike: May you suffer long and hard. I suggest you spend your idle time trying to help USPS management figure a way out of this mess.
The post office, has the most comprehensive, and expensive health plan in the federal industry.
Their retirement plan outshines those of other federal agencies, combined.
The USPS has bveen in the red for over 15 years. Time to cut the cord.
USPS is so stupid. Intelligent letters/emails/communications are worthless when the Heads are in control. I’m sure none of them have ever received mail that they didn’t deliver to themselves.
No wonder they are losing ground to other carriers.
Thanks for the laugh.
