Yay! Makes me wonder if it will ever reach the tipping point of bringing back the mom and pop local economy. I remember when the only things we shipped were letters using stamped envelopes.
Now we have chain stores that have flooded our society with garbage and outright junk that the big "successful" western businesses have ordered from China....to sell to us.
When we ordered from the Sears catalog, I'm pretty sure you still went to pick it up at the store. Now Amazon wants to deliver it to you with a drone.
The only thing that is consistent and reliable, is change.
Keep your boots dry and your powder too.
I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.
Best Regards,
JT

IMO they need to raise the rates percentage wise on junk mail higher than normal mail. It is just wasteful stuff that 95% gets thrown out after a quick glance.

Are First Class Package rates going up too?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

There are choices. I see no reason for the postal service to loose any more money than they are. I'll bet you don't find many postal retirees complaining about these increases or federal employees in general. They know where the butter on their bread comes from.

True........the postal service lost 23 billion $ last year.......making it the most profitable branch of government in the country! That may or may not be an exaggeration.

Nah, just paying the pony's for the mail they delivered 25'years ago. Their productivity was so high they earned it.

Flat rate was a good deal at one time not anymore and the service is poor and they don’t own their mistakes adding to the poor service. So raise the price lose more business and gain nothing then pay to do the changes costing millions all for nothing.

Our post office is like a single wide trailer the postmaster will send mail back if it has my old address on it rather the deliver it depending on her mood.
