POSTAL SHIPPING RATES SET TO JUMP JULY 13TH

[dusterdave173]

Priority rates set to jump around 51% to some zones--under a lb will have big jump--over 20 lbs will have big jumps--Ground Advantage looks to be Ok except over 20 and under a lb rates set to jump big

Many don't get that the first Congress knew to be a country we needed cheap communications --the post office has always been seen as needed for a well functioning Govt and society it was never and has never been a For profit situation-- so don't start talking about making a profit--it is or has been one of the perks of a functioning USA

It may be functioning but not for us regular non billionaire folks

I just got the notification from Pirate Ship a little bit ago on this.

Not a damn thing we can do about it.
And the service will still SUCK.

I use to be a UPS fan. Recently it took 3 days, 6 hours on the phone and 3 supervisors to make arrangements to claim a package.

At least at the post office I can stop by my branch and talk to someone in person.

Besides being inept they saw the increase UPS had and no one seemed to care so they are doing the same thing. There are great people at my post office but they can’t do anything about the incompetence above them.

With the increase in rates, comes better service. Right?

I wish I could double or triple laugh at this one!

Even with that increase, (which sucks) I'll still use USPS. For me they are still cheaper than anyone else. I've never had an issue and everything gets to me or is sent without issue and they are pretty darn fast, at least in my experience.
