They don't always get it right, but USPS processes approx. 600 million pieces of mail per day.
That is almost 200 billion pieces of mail per year.
They received "0" tax dollars for doing this, too.
Do you happen to know the percentage of that 200 billion which actually GETS DELIVERED? On time, and to your door?
I think it's become convenient and fashionable to blame USPS these days, which is too bad. Of course, vendors are free to use Fed Ex, UPS, and any other shipper they deem better. I know there are often options when you order for choosing another service on some checkouts.
I'm on a bookswap, and out of 400 pieces mailed, and another 300 mailed to me, only 2 didn't find their way over a 2 year time period.
Unless you are actually a business who ships and keeps track of these statistics, I think it is guess-work, at best, to make statements about the efficacy of USPS, JMHO.
Thanks for saying that Racehorse! I respect postal workers and I also respect vendors who know how to package their products for foreseeable mishaps. I have a small ebay business and when I send anything breakable, it would literally take an explosion to break the contents, cause I ship it as if an explosion might occur! Just sayin'!
Oh, and I ONLY use USPS!
