USPS again!!! Only 7 Months!!

[dryhumor]

I drove 25 miles yesterday to drop a letter at the post office servicing my insurance company. Not that I didn’t trust them to deliver it on time from my town, but I really didn’t. Not seeings how it took 8 days for the bill to travel 25 miles through the system.

Plus I had a good excuse to pick up a ham biscuit from a pretty good restaurant I know.

The service that the usps provides is pitiful at best. No way a public or privately owned company could survive operating as the usps does.

UPS and Fed Ex are not friends of firearm owners. If you need a long gun shipped as a non-licensee, only the USPS will do it for you. Amazon pretty much put "the kibosh" on UPS and Fed Ex. Amazon used UPS, and to a lesser extent, Fed Ex, to make their deliveries until they got their delivery fleet up and running. It used to be that when you saw deliveries being made, deliveries were made largely by UPS, and some by Fed Ex. When you see deilveries being made today, you largely see Amazon trucks and to some degree, USPS making deliveries for Amazon. That just can't be good for UPS and Fed Ex.

From what ive gathered, yes amazon took back lots of volume from ups. Saying that, I believe thats just what it is- volume. I dont belive ups made much at all per package with Amazon's contract to use them. From what ive heard ups makes their money throught the air system/internationally. Amazon employed ups workers via volume. So yes ups delivers less volume now but, I could be wrong, their profits I dont think will take as big a hit as youd think losing 50-60% of their amazon volume. Ive also heard ground shipments with ups dont make much if anything. More of a service to make people happy.
