Your thoughts on the Post Office situation?

The postal union is to blame for most of the problems of the USPS.

1) Stop Saturday delivery (which the postal union adamantly opposes doing because it would almost eliminate overtime and 2) limit the postal retirement benefit at the same level of retirement benefits as social security and the USPS financial deficit goes away.

i think it's abundantly clear that neither Democrats nor Republicans in congress give 2 shits about small business.

This thread is full of a bunch of morons who have no clue how the USPS operates, starting with the OP.

Also, tell your wife that my home does not have a receptionist to leave a package with, it's not blocked by construction, and that there is no gate. They need to come up with better excuses for why my mail wasn't delivered. Maybe because their grandma was having a baby.

I know it isn’t this guys wife and no reflection on her but my mail woman is the absolute worst. She constantly drives well into the area of grass where the mailbox is in a crescent shape tearing up the yard when it rains Eventhough the mailbox is the correct distance from the road for her to put the mail. This has happened twice so bad thag I spent hrs fixing it. Just the other day she was delivering on the street when a 5th wheel and then 2 trucks with boats were coming down the street. She was parked at a mail box as they were passing and then just blasted out infront of the boat after the fifth wheel, then stopped a house down. Not as soon as the first boat passed she then jolted right out in front of the second truck like she was in a big damn hurry. Then when she got to my house a few min later, I had my truck in the street by the mailbox unloading it and she just blew right by while I was standing there. The next day some of the mail had a rubber band around it and had blocked written in the envelopes. I’m like I was standing right there. The usps should be clear enough reason to show how efficient our government is.

Well she’s wrong. I’m sure they don’t make the situation better but the problems are directly stemming from new changes made by the post master.

The newly appointed post master has stock in USPS competition and has donated thousands to Trumps re-election campaign. Trump has been very vocal on his disdain of USPS.

Philosophically, I’m a privatization guy. But the USPS is a bit different. They are essentially the mail industry’s loss leader. They have to service ( on a daily basis) areas, populations and services that Fedex and UPS have no interest in because there would be no profit in it. My business buys about 15k in postage a year, we rely on the USPS, and we are overall very satisfied with them. We deal with them daily and they do solid work and answer our questions. Of all the problems my business has, the USPS is not one of them. Just giving my own personal experience.

I will say that out of all the carriers I've dealt with for business-related stuff, UPS has been the worst, and it is not even close. Issues with them versus the USPS is something like 20-1, and when I do have an issue, they are easier to deal with than most of the others.
