<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Duke Kavanaugh, post: 826863, member: 20544&quot;]Adding the Mint to the POffice is an interesting idea. They could offer all the items for sale and those that are sent to authorized dealers could go direct which would help offset the mints part of the cost. And for the PO they would have decreased costs from the mints rents/commissions.</p><p>I don&#039;t think this will happen but it&#039;s worth a look.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the post office-I dont see how dropping a day is a profitable idea. Their competition is already getting them. How is offering less service going to help. Imagine McDonalds is loosing money so their idea is to be open less days a week. they still have tons of fixed cost that not being open another day would cost them in sales/profits to help pay for the fixed costs.</p><p>How about they lower their retirement costs. Show me a non government job that offers their type of benefits that makes money. Sure there&#039;s the congress&#039;s bene&#039;s or the auto makers but how much money are they making <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>They should be doing fine with their economy&#039;s of scale and scope if they would keep their package prices lessened to increase sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
