If the USPS raises their prices to Amazon, who pays that?
Speak for yourself. I won’t buy jack shiite from Amazon.
So,it’s OK for the taxpayers to bail out the USPS,as long as you can get cheap deals on Chinese crap from Amazon?
Amazon and its customers
As they should
No one, because if they quadrupled their price Amazon would never use them at all.
People say that the USPS loses money on every Amazon package. Others say they make money. I think that the USPS has no idea which. So many costs for the USPS are fixed and have little or no relation to the amount shipped. Between retirement costs and current buildings, the USPS loses billions if it doesn't ship a single letter or box. They cry when they have too little mail and now they cry they have too much.
How does USPS or UPS deliver a case of bottles of drinking water and not lose money?
If I shipped the same thing to the guy at the end of the street it would cost me, what $40?
Can I ship the same dimension load of junk to the guy at the end of the street as it costs bulk mailers?
The issue is the little guy is almost subsidizing the big guys shipping rates.
Don’t get me wrong, I use eBay and Amazon regularly, but let’s lay the blame where it belongs.
