>I won’t miss ‘em...
It’s not that simple. We ship parcels to Asia and Europe and USPS is the cheapest when it comes to tracking and insurance. Fedex and UPS are THE highway robbers. Only domestically that the latter 2 becomes a no-contest.
What I despise are the unions and their ridiculous retirement packages which they bleed dry from the taxpayers. It’s the smug “I cannot be fired because I am union” attitude you can read from their clerks that pisses me off.
Reminds me of the carrier we had for several years. Drove around just stuffing wads of mail in mailboxes as they liked. Didn’t matter if it was the right house or street. If confronted they refused to take it and deliver it properly and would drive off.
When my mailbox was full of mail that was not mine they left me a nice note saying come to the post office to get it. I did, told them why and that mail sat for over a month before it was finally removed by a temporary carrier. When the previous carrier returned, the same thing happened.
Sam here - I’d be cooked without the USPO. They are by far the best postal system in the world as far as delivery of items.
I have heard for ten years from any number of postal employees that the entire organization is far too top heavy with redundant management positions.
