I do a lot of e-bay buying and selling. I do love that Priority Mail and the ease of printing and paying for my own shipping labels at home and just placing the package with my other outgoing mail at the street. Another advantage is the tracking is free when you do your own label.
@HOWGOZITYes you are right sadly it is true, USPS Brass are still thinking the way of the past, “Just raise rates again and all will be OK!” that is the only thing they are good for , quick fix its instead of cutting out the deep rooted ways of yore namely, unions waste and inefficiency and although there are many good people delivering our mail today there are still many other ways to make it work but alas! time is running short “The King (USPS) is dead, long live the king!” Innovation is the recipe for survival
This is as cyclical as the earth warming and cooling, the snail mail loses a ton of taxpayer money, raises it’s rates and everything is good until the next cycle.
The major “mis-management” problem at USPS is congress, which mandated that the USPS pay ahead its retirement obligations by 70 years. That is the financial burden that the postal service is struggling to overcome. This was a repub attack of the largest unionized employer in our country.

The war on the Post Office, artificially created, is news. They are slow because of legislation.

Through wind, rain, sleet, snow, and now slime . . . the mail must get through!
