If the USPS would get rid of their on-line postage service, then people would have to return to their post office to mail packages.

And if the USPS would get rid of media mail, they would be able to get more money per package since letters are hardly a concern anymore. The competition these days are whose making the most money sending people's packages? Only the USPS is ignorant enough to keep such a profit losing service such as media mail. A business that stupid is hard to care about.

Yes, the business environment has changed for the USPS. But, you have to adapt. The Postal Service still has a monopoly on letters, that is huge. I think the USPS lost almost 5 billion in 2009, this is insane. Get with the times, do the following: Go to 401k or IRA'S-defined contribution plans, not defined benefits. Do like everyone else, get rid of the BS retiree health care obligation. Congress needs to let the Usps have more flexibilty in pricing, less losses on mail, price mail for profit.

@SHINYamAHA21 Actually the USPS is the best postal service in the world and relative to Europe and Japan the cheapest. They'll ship a package cheaper than UPS.

Don't forget all the lawyers and other administrative workers that sit around and get fat all day. Post office also hires per diem professionsals and waste money on private contractors that do nothing but create more work for themselves. Post office is a good example of why our country is broke. Cronyism and Corruption top down.

[1thirdstone1]

You are so right. There are good workers and bosses but they get shafted everyday. I retired as soon as I could and I barely left with my sanity intact. Upper management Liars,phonies,asskissers and unable to do a simple job.
