A package was mailed to me,last week, using the USPS, from a large city that is 300 miles away.
After languishing in the post office for two days my package then spent three days on a truck, and was delivered, finally, after many calls to the post office, after a week in transit.
The total driving time from one city to another was six hours.
The charge for this non service was $20.00, UPS would have delivered it in three days for a little more than $10.00.
Needless to say, I will never again use the USPS for package delivery
I’m not surprised!
Without the taxpayer subsidies, I suspect the USPS would have to charge $4 to deliver a First Class letter and break even.
