USPS should be disbanded

Seriously, how can you be in business for 50 years and have the worst mailing system.

Sent out a package last week that I paid extra for tracking, saw today it’s still marked as USPS awaiting item. Went into post office and they said not all packages get scanned in. I asked if it could get scanned in to update the tracking and she said no, they don’t know where it’s at currently..

Lol what? What’s the point of tracking then?

They've literally been losing over $1 billion a years since 2006, when the law was passed requiring the USPS to refund retiree health benefits. Shocker, thank congress.

For anyone who thinks that the government should manage our healthcare they should go to USPS and the DMV and see how well ran those are.

First mover advantage / scale / etc etc.

There's no incentive to deliver a good product especially as there's no reasonable competition against them.

Who will deliver letters then? UPS and Fedex? Please no. USPS is actually decent compared to postal services in many other countries.

Would rather let Amazon deliver my mail, srs. Say what you want about them, but there’s no denying they are the lead innovator in package delivery.

Miscers once again flexing their room temp IQ's.

Without USPS, the price to mail smaller items would go through the roof. Prices across the board would increase, actually.

Also, I hope you don't live outside of a major city. It has never been profitable to deliver to rural areas, so no mail for you.

Shows how much you know. Look up Lysander Spooner and what the government did to him. He outperformed the USPS and drove down the cost of delivering mail everywhere. Then they shut him down.

The postal service is a legit joke

Monkeys could run it better and more efficient

My last mailman was throwing business checks in the garbage and I was going back to my customers saying I never received payment, bunch of crooks

I rarely mail anything so even if stamps tripled in price, it would still be worth it in my opinion. The profit would be the contract itself, paid by American tax dollars, similar to how it’s done with USPS..

Truth. There should be a way to cut down on bullsh*t junk mail that clogs the system and just gets thrown away by the receiving party anyway.

Those are almost all small businesses who survive by spamming the fukk out of old people. Hate to see it.

Mail is an essential service that the government needs to run. If the USPS dissolved prices would skyrocket and people who live in the country would get their booties reamed. Some things are too important for a private company to get the entire population's balls in a vise. If you don't like the USPS just use Fed Ex or UPS, you have other options available

And to the retards talking about how much money it "loses" - that's like saying the military looses $712 billion per year. Its a public service - not a business.

And people want the government to manage their healthcare effectively, meanwhile we can’t even get packages delivered (much less on time)!

Dealt with USPS a lot selling on eBay I try to use UPS or something else for things that matter lol

The idea of a do not mail list similar to the do not call lists for cell spammers was floated years ago and it was shot down by the gov because it would reduce post office revenue by like 80%

The site I use requires USPS so I didn’t have a choice. Also pretty sure the prices are nearly equal, so don’t see how USPS equates to being a poorcels choice.
