USPS lost 9.5 billion dollars, last year. Yeah, that’s an outfit that has its act together.

USPS is probably the first DEI organization in history.

Not defending them specifically but FWIW, government agencies aren't designed to make money and rarely break even. They aren't businesses. They certainly could use an overhaul though.

I think if the Postal Service just went away and only private companies took care of mail, we would be better off and save multi-billions. I think the PO has run its course and did what it needed to do at one time. But it is time for it to go away.
Other than a few bills that I still get (could easily be done online), I throw away everything else that is put in my mail box.

Same for most all government run entities ... even the big ones.

You think the post office is a suppose to make money? It is for US Citizens and provides a service

Does FAA or FBI make money?

I can mail a letter for less than a few quarters and have it show up in 2 days about anywhere in the USA.

Usually shipping packages is much cheaper from USPS.

I ordered something for a wedding we are attending this afternoon. Standard shipping was 5 days, but I didn’t want to take a chance, so I paid for expedited 3 day shipping. It is currently showing it is out for delivery by 9 pm…on its sixth day. USPS shipped it from California to Ontario, Canada (?) and then to Arkansas, where it has been bouncing around for two days. I had it shipped here in case there were shipping delays, since this is where the wedding is.

Totally disgraceful and unacceptable operation.

They provide a service that they charge fees for. FAA and FBI are overhead. I don’t think the USPS are supposed to be a money pit that loses billions of $,$$$,$$$,$$$ per year either.

If that’s the case, then why are they charging for their service?

And maybe you can get a letter delivered in two days, but most of us cannot. It takes weeks, and the package goes half way around the world, and you’re lucky if it gets there, at all. They SUCK. I no longer want my tax dollars wasted on them.

USPS could make money if they charged property for junk mail. Citibank can afford it.

The Little Guy wins one! After 2 separate trips to the post office, more lies and a postmaster that refused to come out and talk, I reached out to the District Office in the metromess……DONE DEAL! Mail already delivered!

Reminds me about being charged to go to a Texas State Park. My hunting and fishing license fees supplement their budget. They should let me in for free just for having a license or shut them down and make it more state hunting land.

Increasing the bulk/junk mail charge will reduce the mail but reduce the USPS income. Tried about 10 yrs ago, same situation. Delivery cost inflation and stupid management blame for poor service (contract deliverers). Same for most delivery service, lawnmowing workers got a better job driving trucks.

I thought I'd post a good USPS screw up. I think I remember that the max forwarding you can have is 18 months. We moved into this house 3 years and 3 months ago. We're still getting forwarded mail. It's just junk, but still. up
