USPS Getting worse


Recommended Posts

Just when you started thinking the Postal Service couldn't get any worse  icon-rolleyes-1.gif

Mail delivery for many Americans will slow starting on Friday, part of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's blueprint for overhauling the U.S. Postal Service in order to slash costs. But critics say the slower delivery standards could cause problems such as late bill delivery while more broadly undermining the public's faith in the USPS. 

Almost 4 of 10 pieces of first-class mail will see slower delivery, according to Paul Steidler, senior fellow at the Lexington Institute and an expert on the postal service. That "means mail delivery will be slower than in the 1970s," he said, calling DeJoy's plan "disastrous."

Starting tomorrow, the postal service's current three-day delivery standard for first-class mail — letters, bills, tax documents and the like — will drop to delivery anywhere within the U.S. within five days. In other words, Americans should now expect that letters and other mail could take up to five days to reach their destinations, and vice versa.

Most of our bills are  done by bank drafts. I have found a sure fire way to get off stupid mailing list that require a return answer with prepaid postage, simply fill the prepaid envelope with your junk mail and send it to them. They won’t send you anything else.

I've been saying this ever since DeJoy was appointed. His real goal is to destroy USPS and  most of Congress fully supports it.

The Post Office has been part of our culture since the inception of the US and has weathered many a storm. Let's hope it will remain resilient.

I had to ship a lot of things thru the post office this summer and everything arrived in two days and at a fraction of a cost compared to ups and fed ex. The one thing I shipped by fedex was four days late. #### this pos for trying to destroy the post office.
