I actually have started using USPS more and writing check the old fashioned way because e-banking has cause all of my accounts to be hacked. Had to have debit & credit cards cancelled and reissued 3 times with in a year. So, lick it and stick it. Sure hope we dont kill off the USPS.

b4reelnow I use my credit card for almost everything. Pay it off every month and every couple months I can CASH back. Couple weeks ago they sent me a check for $100.00. Send the credit card company a check the next day after I receive my statement. I use their money and they pay me. You cant do better than that.

"The problem is the union pension, medical expense, etc....

The costs of a union workforce is killing the post office."

You're close to half right. The problem is that the republican congress, trying to find a way to kill off the post office without being able to withhold any funds, since USPS gets none, passed a bizarre, pointless law USPS had to do something no other organization does -funds 75 years of pensions. This is a mess of republican creation.

A substantial % of Fedex packages are farmed out to USPS to deliver because those union employees are more cost-effective.

They're victims of their own foolishness. In my town the po is backed up to the legal eagles. You'd think it was a legal clinic so much uncalled for ugliness unlike anywhere. It's a lousy service prima donna mess.

What you see is what you get. They no longer feature letter delivery so it went the way of the horse & buggy and instead they pick up boxes for a single rate you stuffed with whatever. That's what's become of the usps.

“Postal Service market research and other research indicated that nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs, the agency said.” – article

Wonder why? Americans won’t see the costs savings. Mail rates aren’t going down and it’s going to take longer for mail to be delivered.
