I bought a Marvel Universe figure from someone in Aiken, SC, 113 miles from here.
It was shipped Thursday, after which it went south all the way out of SC, through GA, and to the Jacksonville, FL sorting facility. Then it went to Greensboro, NC on its way here. It should be here Monday. That's 4 days and 891 miles crossing state lines six times to get to a destination 113 miles away in the same state!

The reason why the post office is failing is very simple. IT'S GOVERNMENT RUN!

I'd say the post office is falling because of the ridiculous prices and they keep raising the prices every year

Think it has something to do with technology. People pay and get bills online. People can communicate across the country with any cell phone. The Post Office's role in everyday life is shrinking and it needs to down size in order to survive.

Yep that's it. Volume is going down as more and more people stop sending physical mail and pay bills online. Yet as volume goes down, the routes go up as the population of the country keeps growing. They can't raise prices fast enough to come up with the shortfall.

People aren't using it anymore.
As far as prices... I can mail a GI Joe figure for less than $2.00 across the country, an envelope for 44 cents. I think that's pretty good. |
