Knock ‘em if you want to but sending a letter across country for 44¢ is a bargain.

An email or FAX is 1/100th that (if that much).
The usps is like printed newspapers — all but useless.
I can send a letter for free via the internet, doesn’t look so good by comparison.
Privatization..... My opinion but I understand your point.
pdf it and send it electronically for free.
This is the reason the post office is having trouble. I can mail a 10 page document for 44 cents sure. it’ll get their in a timely manor for ground delivery and for the cost.
HOWEVER!
I can feed it to my scanner, click my mouse a few times in it’s there with in 5 minutes of me hitting “SCAN” on the scanner.
OR!
I can feed it to the fax machine and zap it over to where it’s headed for pennies or, if you have a flat rate line (no long distance in all 57 states) no additional cost at all.
The post office still has it’s place, but it’s a much much smaller place now, and they have not shrunk to fit the new place for them.
With SS going paperless, more and more taxes being filed electronically even the US government is dumping them.
Oh yea, haven't sent something for 10 years. But I do get that junk stuff.
Damn straight!
Um, why do you think they are going bankrupt? Users aren't paying the actual costs for too many services. The postal service is just socialism. Everybody pays higher fees so some people can get a "bargain." Privatize the Post Office and make them charge people actual fees for services like UPS and FedEx.
