I don't understand how using real USPS employees is supposed to be saving any money but I guess we will have to see if it actually hurts service.

I understand that. I don't understand how replacing contractors with USPS employees saves money.

Did anybody say the change was being put in effect to save money?
If that is the case, what none of us know is how many USPS employees are fully utilized. There could be excess employment due to automation or lower utilization because of newer technology. So the answer could be as simple as get rid of contractors and use under utilized personnel already on the payroll. There are not too many other scenarios justifying the change on economics....unless there is an element of load up the existing personnel work load and let the service quality fall where it may. We shall soon experience the results of the change. Then we can speculate anew....again!! |

This is the best news I have heard since I got here 8 years ago, you will see that you're service will improve, since the non-postal
employees don't really care if they have this job or not. They do not receive medical, no pension, low salary. This job that they have is a piece of cake, air conditioned facility indoors. The amount of employees going from 20 to 1 will be changed according to the amount of mail. About using UPS or Fed-ex, do you really think they want this job, they have more work than they can handle now. Retired Letter Carrier after (30 Years) been retired for 18 years. Watch what you wish for, it's going to work BELIEVE ME. JJO'D |

My wife and I have sent cash and gift cards to our grandchildren from the mail boxes at the postal center here. They never arrived at the destination. When we contacted the USPS to ask, they said there was nothing they could do because the employees at the postal centers are not USPS employees. Since the second time this happened, we have been going to the USPS post office to mail anything that looked like a greeting card just to make sure it gets where it is going. I hope this change will avoid this situation.

USPS does not lose money on junk mail. It is their life support machine.

One of the reasons we like the postal stations is that they are air conditioned and our prescriptions are mailed to us and it is very HOT here in the summer and traditional mail boxes would hurt many prescriptions in a short time due to excessive heat.

Personally I'm surprise the Postal Service can even survive because of computers & emails & text messages. I think evenually computers will run the postal service out of business. Just my thought!

The postal service is not in "business". They are wasting your tax dollars because Congress won't stop them.

The junk mail we get is actually income to pay the postoffice by the advertiser to deliver their mail to us.So if we blocked that, then the usps would get less money,then our rates would go up.vicious cycle.

The problem is that the advertisers are not paying enough money to cover the cost to deliver the junk. Our Government is subsidizing the cost. It has gotten to the point that almost all of our mail is junk, and the "for profit" services like UPS and FEDEX are delivering the real mail. If the USPS charged the actual cost to deliver junk mail, the junk mail would disappear.
