This is not what you think
Saturday afternoon I mailed a holster at my PO. This was after 3:00, the PO was closed so I put it in the after hours drop box. It was normal, 1st class mail. Monday, my buyer sent me a PM that he received the holster! I thought that was PDQ From PA to OH but, still..... |

Monday, my buyer sent me a PM that he received the holster! I thought that was PDQ From PA to OH but, still..... I've got a better one than that. I bought a rifle over the web from an individual in Washington state. He shipped it Friday, USPS, and it was at my FFL here in Texas Monday (yesterday). All that for $41.00. |

OK, but at what price?
$238 billion loss for U.S. mail; Saturday delivery may end |
|
$2.39 on my end.. 6.5oz 1st class But yes, the PO is undercharging thats why they are going broke. I understand that. But if they are dumb enough to undercharge, I'm smart enough to use them. |

Meh......My guess the waste at USPS is a piker when compaired to the waste from the military. Both are mandated by our Constitution. I'd really rather not be left to the tender mercies of UPS or Fed-Ex thank you very much.

I'm all for cutting the programs not covered by the Constitution to fund those that are. Won't happen though. |

I have never had a problem when USPS handles my mail or packages....when FedEx Smartpost or DHL get's involved in getting mail to my local post office, it goes from 2-3 days to 5-6...
It's the reason I have refused to buy from any business that gives a package to either Smartpost or DHL and relies on them to get it to the post office. |
