It’s fun/fashionable/annoying to rip the USPS for myriad reasons. I’ve had bones to pick with them occasionally, including a couple of specific incidents that really infuriated me.

But the bottom line is, they have delivered approximately 2000 DVDs I’ve sold over the years without a single complaint from a buyer for non-delivery. There was one buyer who complained of damage, but his description of the damage was very suspicious, and he wouldn’t send a picture to document it. I think he was running a con to get a second DVD for free. It worked. I didn’t have much choice...

Way back around 1970, I received a small plastic bag containing a rumpled, charred and water-damaged envelope, with the explanation that it was part of a mail shipment recoverd from a plane crash at the Toledo Express airport.

USPS, you ain’t perfect, but you have mostly done well for me.

I think that the USPS does a very good job with first class mail. The problem is all the junk mail that comes through it which must be costing the senders very little or they would not use USPS.

A second problem is the incredibly favorable postage rates given to items from China. These low prices are left from when China was literally a starving country. Congress needs to end this completely unfair policy.

Yep, in general the usps delivers just fine. It’s the overall COST that is the problem.

Interesting...
..
Did you price them individually ?
Some are hard to find or collectable.
Thru eBay perhaps?
Swap meet usually a buck each.
I’ve got about 1200 I need Gone !
.
I think I could trim it to 200 or so.
I’ve given a few to Goodwill which sells
them for a buck and change.
.
USPS is okay but nerve-wracking at times.
.
Thanks
