It’s the same situation with the post office helping ups or FedEx “out”....

Allergic to cardboard.
All the small town post offices around here are getting slammed with Amazon. Kinda funny seeing the fat rural couriers stressed out for once in their lives.

USPS is not "helping" anyone out. They are getting paid for deliveries that they already were going to make.
Regardless, USPS is not in competition with UPS or FedEx.

If I pay you to do a menial task, you are not a competitor. You are a two bit crack whore that is willing to do a little sucky sucky for a few bucks.

I'm into distribution!!
So when I do a CPU and an entire USPS trailer next to my UPS trailer is full that isn't competition?
Also, when Amazon doesn't use your services for months and then asks for help on Christmas Eve, how is that a delivery they were already going to make?
I saw Inde leaving there at 6:20.

when we order from Wal Mart we usually get the package next day and this is free shipping option. Not every time but most of the time. Costco takes 3 days and we complain. Amazon is falling behind for us.
getting really spoiled.

Amazon was/is going to drop everyone the first chance they get.
Better to drop the habit before you get dependent on it.

They are competing on regular shipments.
However surepost is more like a business being the middle man. Like a company offering yard signs, having another company print them, then charging the customer an uncharged.
Ups gets the customer, takes the package to the post office, then the post office delivers it for a smaller price.
Ups makes more $ that way by not having to pay the labor costs for us to deliver it.

Oh hell yes those meth heads will be out delivering Christmas Day... absolutely.... same reason Starbucks will be open and it is one of their busiest days but at least Starbucks compensates their employees who volunteer to come in that day...

And that is a good thing?? You’re a driver, a union driver to boot... this should concern you off the street hire...

It does. I'd rather we delivered every package including surepost. Put more routes in & get more of us into the driving ranks.
