[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3821347, member: 78298"]The price to send a package is triple what it should be. Because they gave Amazon a sweetheart deal, we, the customers, the public are being double dipped. We are charged shipping by Amazon (let's say $4.99) for something that could be mailed in a manila envelope for a dollar. And then, we are overcharged by the post office, to make up for the sweetheart deal they gave Amazon. I haven't mailed any packages in years and I used to mail packages all the time. If I can't put it in a manila envelope I don't bother any more. I have the money to pay for it, I just don't like being taken advantage of. Having to overfund their pension plan is one of the reasons, but that's not my fault. I don't know why they felt trying to bankrupt the post office was a good idea. It was probably the only gov't organization that made money. If they go broke it will cost $3 to mail a letter from a private carrier. So banks and Wall Street get bailed out, but not the Post Office? Amazon makes more money by over charging for shipping, and letting the post office do all their work for them. How can they survive on that business model?[/QUOTE]
