If you thought the Postal Service was bad before, just wait:

[wilt the stilt]

171. I think the Post office has excellent service

and I just had a package intercepted. They were great on the phone and extremely helpful. Unfortunately you had bad service but as a whole they have excellent service as everyone except you comments.

Almost all ebay sellers uses USPS and they deliver on time with tracking and faster and cheaper than UPS and fedex. They are convenient and fast.I usually receive or send a package and it is delivered in 2 days with a tracking number. That same package is twice as expensive at UPS and 2 days slower.
This another typical example of the republican mindset(which i think you are) always saying the government can do no good versus reality.

I don't know why you use the post office. We as consumer always have choices.If I go to a restaurant and the food and service is terrible I might give it a second chance. If the second time is bad I won't go back. Just apply the same logic to your experience. Go to the alternative and use their service. It is very user friendly when you go to fedex and fill out the forms to ship a letter. It probably take 5 minutes for each letter. Good luck at fedex.

So just go to the private companies and use them. I'm sure you will be very happy. If you so unhappy just stop using USPS. simple.solution.
