In reply to MakingMoney. And the more they change and raise rates, the less mail they'll get. USPS already lost all my packages over 2lbs or over 30", UPS gets them. Rates are so high I can't up my prices, I'm actually having to lower them or they won't sell.

In reply to NYSteve. So true, I've written every politician, contact all the news channels, no body cares or wants to help.Just a slap in the face to all the small seller who have kept the USPS afloat.

We have family that works for the Post Office. Changes need to be made and cost have gone up just like everywhere else. 1st class mail is the most profitable and it continues to go down each year thus changes need to be made. Companies are advertising more online and less with USPS. You will soon see area hubs with its USPS carriers similar to UPS. Many changes are coming whether you like them or not and most need to be done from what has been told to me by USPS employees. It sucks package prices continue to go up but that is what needs to be done like like UPS and Fed Ex increases its prices to meet expenses etc. We up our prices on the items we sell the best we can to cover the increases.

@Steve= true, everyone i know is seeking alternatives, even for home DELIVERY (not just shipping out)
DeJoy is a master at projection, and i pity anyone that cant see his goal is to destroy the USPS
(by making it just a lame shipping alternative) and have his ‘stock’ in xpo and any other logistics company skyrocket.
The powers that be , must be hand-tied and lame not to be able to ditch this guy who is positioned on the inside to get rid of the EPA, i mean the DFW…oh wait, those guys were already canned….i mean the USPS

DeJoy said “Service is better now”. No, it’s been decidedly worse since he took over. Our mail delivery and pickup was never irregular before this tenure. We used to have a carrier show up each and every day, Monday through Saturday. Now, not so much. And lot of the mail that is supposed to arrive on any given day often arrives days late.

Also, the USPS is slowly killing businesses who sell and ship media with the constant Media Mail increases. And that’s before talking about all the other horrific shipping-related price spikes.

He needs to finally go.
