I heard on the news last week that the USPS is undergoing a major reorganization. Fewer employees as a result of early retirements and buyouts will be available for delivery, delivery will be only 4 days week, no first class mail, increased fees and longer delivery times. Initiated by the new Washington administration to reduce costs, a aid bankruptcy and bailout


Having a more than a little experience working with the PO, the same has been said for over 15 years.

Nuthin' new.

I have been getting 1 - 2 day receipt. After doing some research I found that I am one of the people on a test program.

I have all my bills (utility, credit card, etc) send a statement each month but I pay them electronically through my bank. A couple of the credit card companies send the statement but don't include an envelop to send the payment. Cheap bastards.


Yes. Like they CAN'T afford an envelope! One of my pet peeves.

Well, part of the cause of the slow mail in the Post Master General ordered the elimination of a large number of high speed sorting machines that were capable of sorting up to 35,000 items per hour. All of this is being done by hand now and at some point overtime was not allowed either.
And not only were the sorting machines removed, they were also destroyed so they can not be re-installed at this time.
