Midwest Watchdog - US Postal Service Scams

The US Postal System, Fed-Ex and UPS are all getting ripped off by scabbers. Nearly each day I get a package where the shipper is using expensive stolen shipping supplies as packing materials. The post office broke away from being part of the US Government funding system in 1971 and is now $10B+ in debt and sinking faster. They will need a Government bailout soon. This does not seem like the time to allow people to use Post Office supplies as free packing material. Midwest Watchdog

UPS envelopes are not paid for by the taxpayer. Your assumptions here are incorrect. USPS, yet but not FedEX or UPS.

If you ever get a shipment with envelopes/padded paks from other couriers as packing material, email the company and inform them how that's abuse of their account with such couriers, and take those paks/envelopes to the post office / hub / retail location of the respective courier, they'll gladly take them back and give them to other customers who need them for tendering shipments.

No, youre wrong, they are not actually free. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to ultimately pay for these pouches - Fed-Ex and UPS don't run a charity - they dont just give stuff away for 'free'.

These courier companies may say that they are giving these satchels to account holders for free, but what theyre actually doing is charging higher shipment costs to make up for their loss in satchels. Believe me, this is how it works. Nothing is for 'free'.

Priority Boxes now can not be turned wrong side out as they are printed on the inside as well. People still do use these boxes and the packaging tape for uses other than what they are for. Could this be considered a Federal offense?

I bet the same ones ragging on the person in this video complain about the federal deficit & how the government needlessly spends.

One solution to help with USPS's money woes: Do away with free shipping supplies.

BTW, I constantly see free packing material & boxes on Craigslist. I use newspaper, peanuts & bubble-wrap, ALL free, of course. But personally, I think peanuts & bubble-wrap look WAY more professional, but I can never resist the funny pages - even the Chinese ship with newspaper.

@pokebattler831 So?? I just dont see how this is a scam. I mean I have gotten USPS packs with UPS packing materials. You can actually send a UPS letter in a priority envelope, The curriers profit from the Shippment not the Packing materials. NOBODY is charging for those envelops so it is not scam if anything its free propaganda.

[pokebattler831]

@maicolombia but he has to pay to pick it up

[pokebattler831]

@seth1852 would you pay like fucking extra money oh wait of course not nobody does dumbfuck

[maicolombia]

You are Stupid! the packing is done by the shipper not by the carrier! even if it is a pack and ship like UPSSTORE. They all sale the service. Franchises that are Individual owned and those packing material are FREE!
