This has been the case for a great many years, and is surely at least part of the overall national efficiency challenges which Congress has noticed (but not addressed). The new Postmaster General has basically been hired to squeeze blood from a turnip here (fix the problems with no additional funding) and he says he thinks he can do that. We wish him success.
And while it would be nice to evaluate USPS by comparing them to UPS, those organizations are not nearly the same. USPS and FedEx do not handle bazillions of pieces of First Class mail each day, and they don't want to. USPS revenue from First Class Mail has dropped in half over the past three years. UPS revenues are greater than that of USPS. And UPS does not have to stuff EVERYONE'S mailbox every day.
