What would you do to save the USPS?
Before we begin, there is absolutely no reason to send this to PARF. This is a business discussion. If you can't contain yourself, click through.
So, what would you do? I thought eliminating Saturday delivery was a no brainer. Curbside delivery is the norm in all new housing, but it ain't gonna work hard in the city.
The USPS has lost out to competition re packages. UPS got traction in 1930 when the USPS could care less about parcels. Now that there're too few letters, that has turned out to be the biggest mistake of any business model anywhere.
USPS is trying hard to come back and the future looks like they better do whatever it takes to capitalize on the fact that they visit almost every household in the US 6 days a week.
Can the USPS do anything else? Could they take one day a week during the census and do that?
Should they ramp up tracking so that FedEx and UPS has nothing on them when it comes to tracking? Should the USPS simply contract everything with others? Should they BUY one of the big parcel delivery companies?
Just wondering.
