  1. And whats the post office going to do about the lost revenue of Amazon.

    In our neighborhood Amazon is being delivered by people driving rental cars. Checked with the post master and was told its true amazon is in test mode right now to begin delivering their packages by private carriers thus eliminating costly postal charges. This is being done in bigger cities and amazon will continue with the last mile in small and rural areas.

    Doesn’t bode well for the profit line of the Post Office anymore.

  2. Sure:

    1. Make china pay what we pay.
    2. open up great discounts for small to medium businesses so they are enticed to us usps more on larger packages ( Fed ex beats usps prices quite a bit now with heavy items). Let small to medium businesses sign up for a business account.
    3. having to have pension money ON HAND for 20 years per employee is rediculous.
    4. Put economy shipping back, right now parcel select is MORE than priority, parcel select used to be a great seller and eased the costs to get a package delivered so quickly. ( I coul dhave sworn congress said Usps could not raise priority prices unless they keep parcel select cheaper)

    just a few ideas, but I am unsure if the Potus can fix things, too much money and criminality involved.

  3. USPS should convince OPM to allow the agency to rehire retired employees. It could save on training, benefits, and dependable work history of employees who left with good records.

  4. One of the biggest issues that is still being ignored is the fraudulent online sellers who do not pay the correct postage. Instead of paying for a 2 pound package they pay for 16 oz first class package saving several dollars on hundreds or even thousands of packages they send out. Hardly ever checked by USPS and they continue to get away with it. Many of my competitors do this so they can offer free shipping which is being rammed down their throats by Amazon and Ebay. SHIPPING IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN FREE!!!!! My understanding is that this is mail fraud and is a felony. Crack down on this and get a few of the bigger folks in jail that are doing this and it will make headlines and set an example. Sellers with integrity struggle against these idiots.
