This isn’t just my opinion, this is info from my local USPS. USPS says they do not have the facilities nor the truck space for larger parcels. Just look at the size of USPS trucks which are much smaller than FedEx and UPS trucks. USPS will further increase fees on larger packages, by design, because larger parcels take too much space for the typical post office and delivery trucks.

And those who are paying for just First-Class mail vs. Priority mail. USPS cannot afford to care if your packages becomes lost because you haven’t paid for insurance.

I never got these phone calls in 19 years of online selling. I asked why it is taking over a month to have parcel select packages delivered, loosing me money because I have to give refunds ? ? ? She said she could not help with that and to call another number about that.. I said I thought you could give me an answer on this problem with parcel seledt taking over a month for delivery. She said no I am here to help you with your shipping.. I told her I was going to now use FED EX and I hung up on her. FED ex and UPS has been courting my business for years. Last year I spent over 58k on shipping. My USPS carrier hates her job….. Let that sink in!

If they aren’t making a HUGE profit now…..
So, they learned how to hobble America.

I’ve said it several times, each rate increase is a decrease in sales. With all the fees, shipping, taxes and increase shipping supply increases are killing small businesses.
