The USPS is one of the best deals going. Rates going up everywhere and you expect mail to stay the same? Get real.
As for UPS, they get to cherry pick what and where they deliver. They do a great job, but the USPS has to deliver all the unprofitable areas that private interests will not.
I have never been able to figure out why everyone hits on the Post Office.
The postal service STINKS!!!!
I subscribed to a sports teams newspaper that highlights the prior weeks game and previews the coming game. It was sent first class mail every week(on tuesdays), with TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL below the post marks.
I NEVER RECIEVED THE PAPER ON TIME. NOT ONCE!!!!
IT ALWAYS SHOWED UP THE FOLLOWING MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
I called to complain and the next weeks issue showed up on the following FRIDAY!!!!!
The postal service SUCKS!!!!!!
I have recieved monthly magazines, sent the first week of the month, in the last week of that month.
The things I WANT are always late, yet I get junk mail everyday.
THE POSTAL SERVICE SUCKS!!!!!
Because people love to b_tch :~D
And I agree with you.
Well said. If mail were privatized, no company would deliver to rural and inner-city routes.
