Well, considering that UPS is based here its still is not good. The destroyed package part comes from people who used to work there and how they talked about screwing a package up but sending it on anyways. I'm sure Fedex does it, but I dont know anyone who works there.
The overnight part has happened to me three times, twice for overnight, once for two day. They wait until 6pm or 7pm to deliver. If I worked normal hours it wouldn't be as big of a problem but I'm at work then, thus I have to wait an additional day, which that day they make sure they get it there somewhat early since they claim they left it at the office but they cant because its long closed at that point. To me, and it has happened with everyone else, if it was an overnight package it was delivered to the location before mid day, and two day deliveries wasn't left for the end of the day.
Junk mail is the only thing keeping the USPS afloat. If junk mail stops being cost effective, then the USPS will go under and we'll only have FedEx, UPS, and DHL (which probably isn't the end of the world).
I like using USPS because it's the most reliable way of sending something illegal through the mail.
I mail one cheque a month, and ocasionally an extra one or two every few months. I'm still working on a roll of 100 37 cent stamps. Now I have to add two 2 cent stamps per letter. If the rates keep going up my letters are going to get more and more colourful.
You have been watchlisted sir.
They still cant open his mail without a warrant. UPS opens mail like crazy...
looks sort of like rates have increased pretty steadily.

also, the cost per additional ounce is going down from 24 to 17 cents. i'm sure most of the revenue comes from the first ounce anyway, but that's awfully nice of them.

I stamp and mail all of my bills simply because the utilities hate it. Dealing with my paper bill and check means they have to pay someone to handle it. I'm not going to give them a free and fast way of taking my money. that's worth 39, or 41 or whatever cents it costs to send a letter these days.
The retarded part is that most of my utilities and other bills charge me extra for paying over the phone or online.
