<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coin Wisher, post: 2999151, member: 88226&quot;]I used to work for a large govt agency, and every year, around the holidays,&nbsp; a significantly higher percentage of checks and mail would get lost, misdelivered, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;The problem was that the USPS hires temporary employees to handle the huge increase during the holidays. Most just don&#039;t care, as they know they are gone after the rush.</p><p>&nbsp;I think the USPS does a tremendous job, considering they are severely restricted by scads of laws. </p><p>&nbsp;There have been examples of private entities exceeding the Post Office, but they were only in high population places in a small area, with excellent access and infrastructure. In other words, ideal, best-case scenarios. USPS makes a profit in those areas too. But, they also will deliver the same letter to Aunt Gertude in Popsicle Northern Alaska for the same price.</p><p>&nbsp;I have also spent significant time overseas, and you would be shocked how poor the mail is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
