[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1383257, member: 50088"] All the while the USPS functions with numerous advantages over UPS. Yet we make billions in profit, they lose billions. #1, the post office gets to just drive up to 10's, if not 100's of millions of mailboxes along the edge of the road and deliver without leaving their vehicle. As UPS'ers, most of our day is spent walking off packages all the way to the door step. #2, volume efficiency - they have revenue coming from just about every address, everyday. Our delivery points are all spread out. #3, We have to drive all the way up to every stop, while our friends at the post office often have mailboxes clustered together in many areas allowing them to not even go to the home/condo/apt. One stop, dozens of deliveries. These huge advantages, and they can't make a buck. [/QUOTE]
