Message:: [QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 4816676, member: 44004"]Delay issues with usps for me has been going on for several years and progressively getting worse. Starting last fall in particular it’s been awful. I’ve gotten some things in 2 days from across the country others take 2 weeks or are sent back coming from Massachusetts. Since the new director has taken over it’s no better no worse. My hope is he cuts through the bs and streamlined the process and makes it profitable. They need someone from the private business sector to shake things up. I’m hopeful but apprehensive. No reason they shouldn’t turn a profit. Ups and Fedex do. And it’s not like it’s cheap for any of us to ship stuff. Maybe cut out the sweetheart deals for big companies like Amazon (which I’m sure come with kickbacks for certain officials) and be competitive again. They’ve always known they had the government backing so they ran it as inefficiently as they could to maximize their profits and benefits (sounds like most politicians especially congress) ups and Fedex pay very well and have great benefits yet are profitable (my neighbor now works for ups as a mechanic too)  I’ve been saying for years they need to cut the inefficiency I hope it happens as the service (yes that’s a part of their name!!) has been sorely lacking for at least the last 8-10 years[/QUOTE]
