    I’ve heard that the postal service is considering cutting back on the number of days it will deliver. All I ever get are bills and junk mail. I think that I could handle a few more days off from that every week.

    Yeah, pretty crummy how they keep increasing our First Class postal rates so they can deliver the junk bulk mail more efficiently.

    That was NEVER a postal service creed. It was only on the Main Post Office building in New York City when it was built.

    Give me a break….hubby is a postal worker.

    Try sending your first class letter by UPS or FedEx and see what it costs. Priority mail is still the best shipping value going for anything under a pound and it generally gets where it’s going faster than UPS. If you look for problems you will find them anywhere. The Postal Service is just a good target.

    PS I get the joke and I really dig it!

    Actually, Grazer, the bulk mail keeps bringing in the majority of cash to the Postal Service, so they keep increasing the price of 1st class mail lost to faxes, e-mail, texting, etc.

    I did a comparison of postal rates (going back to the start of postal service in the US). In 1855, it cost 99¢ (in 2009 currency) to send a ½ ounce letter. by 1885, that dropped to 56¢ per ounce. In 1971, the price was 41¢ and has hovered between 39¢ and 49¢ ever since. Again, in 2009 currency, it costs less to mail a letter than it did in 1988.

    People made a big fuss when the Post Office wanted to discontinue Sunday delivery in the early 1800s. It was finally dropped in 1912.
