I may be in the minority but i'm a big fan of the USPS.
Considering how many packages they handle, I think they do a pretty darn good job.
From Hawaii to Maine in a few days for a few bucks. You can't beat that.
I was on the USPS website tonight to schedule a pick up and this banner popped up.
I though i would share it with everyone.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS USPS!

What's wrong with Memphis? I'm in north MS and everything I send goes through Memphis. I've not had an issue outside of a handful of packages that were delayed last year during the massive holiday/covid pile ups.

No doubt light years ahead of last year's post office meltdown and ensuing trauma. This week will be the test. I have actually had more issues with FedEx this year the USPS. Had a ground package take 9 days and make like 10 stops coast-to-coast and another that I am pretty sure is enroute but no updates,

Pick up and delivery today at 9 am and 3:15 pm. Last year 3 times in one day. A hui ho. Keep up the good work.

Agree - the USPS is doing a great job, and they labour under difficult conditions with the stupid prefunding shoved through in 2006 and an incompetent who is invested in rival delivery companies currently at the helm. The USPS is the most popular public institution in the country, reaches EVERYONE (unlike UPS and Fed-Ex) and politicians try to shipwreck it at their peril.

The prefunding is a moot point since the postal service has been in default of those prefunding payments since FY 2012, and since the OPM reports its uncollected receivable from the postal service at $0 value anyway.

They're still paying into these retirement funds - they're simply absorbing the losses. It's nothing more than a shell game. A losing shell game.

Pages 5 and 6 of the Independent Auditor's Report if you feel like catching up with some boring bedtime reading:
