About all of this Postal Service nonsense...
Here are my thoughts:
When sending parcels, packages or anything other than small packages
[e.g. cassette tapes, single CDs or letters] I highly suggest that you
use Airborne Express, FedEx [Both of which have what is known as SDS
(second day service)] or UPS.
I don't use the postal service for the reason that they are a tax-exempt
quasi-public business and I believe that the private sector businesses do
a better job anyways [and the recent rash of complaints of lost packages
and mail seem to confirm what I already believe.]
Not only that but things like online package tracking, better rates and
those really neato clipboards that you get to sign are all added cool
bonuses!
Has anyone considered this perspective?
