I think with the limits that the USPS has, they do a good job......they CAN NOT make a profit, if they do it gets rolled into the general fund. The loss they have had is attributed to a change that Congress shoved down their throats on the pension funding.

They COULD change the pension for new hires and have a tiered retirement.....happens in other governement jobs.....

The newautomated kiosks are nice, the supplied flat rate boxes and envelopes is very helpful, online payment options, free pick up, home delivery of supplies......I ship close to 100% of sales with USPS. Tracking is now available for 1st class mail if you use the window or the kiosk.

They have a long way to go.....auto insurance like UPS of $100 would be nice.....but I assume that they would just increase costs across the board. The surcharge of 75-100% to Canada is a PITA.....as is the cross border PayPal increase......
