USPS Incompetence!

[GuttormG]

They could turn it over to private interprise but would they have offices in all those small towns. FedEx and UPS wouldn't do to well either if they had to have an office everywhere there is a Post Office.

Norway har partially privatized postal services. The post offices are gone, and what they did is now handled by local grocery stores. Service has improved and small places that wouldnt have a chance to keep an old style post office has service.
Also banks are doing the same (for the very few things one need a bankoffice for).

What I find strange is that US is still using checks, money orders and sending bills by mail, time to go digital!

This is an empty envelope I received from my local post office. The snap on wrench is gone, just a hole in the envelope and a note.
Give me a break !!!

That sucks! I hope my ammo that’s coming doesn’t end up all over the floor of the post office? I did receive some bullets from Midway once, where the bullets came out of their original box and we’re bouncing around inside the shipping box. Didn’t lose any though.

Many of the local grocery stores here used to mail stuff prior to the 911 terrorist attacks. After that they stopped handling mail. But, they need to start up again as it was quick and convenient and I’m sure in today’s world they could adapt state of the art security measures to counter threats. As far as payments made digitally, many sellers will only accept checks or money orders for payment here.
