Cut expenses as you see fit or don't. Reduce delivery and pick-up to once per week if it takes it. I'll use you if I need you and figure you're worth whatever you're charging. David for better ways USPS:

And in the rare cases of having to send a paper bill [who does this anyone??] or letter to santa, 3 extra cents wont hurt you. …who cares??

Why would we pay over 50 cents to mail a bill/letter when we can use the internet or UPS for less? Postal workers are some of the highest paid and have the most benefits. They can't compete with the private sector who have lower costs because they pay less out in benefits and wages. Keep raising the cost of stamps and even fewer people will use the Post Office.

But that was by their policy, and my bad luck.. I'm not a veteran, though I do appreciate their service, nor a minority. This is a whole new story here. I doesn't be "waiting for a check," as I have all mine deposited electronically...however, I have met most of my neighbors by taking them mis-delivered mail. And the torn magazines, that I hopefully do eventually receive, really do give me "confidence" in your system. @ me:

I myself am a postal employee. I for one am not lazy by no means. I work hard to make sure my customers are satisfied. You go to a bigger office and yes you are gonna wait longer because there is probably 20 people in line at all times. And why fuss over 3 cent. I'd like to see you drive you bill to where ot needs to be for 49 cent. To me that is still a good deal. Huh you sound about as crazy as you say postal workers are…. I myself am a postal employee.
