Please do the USPS next! It would have been better to just drive up there myself and pick up these items. It must be a special kind of person to want to work for such an inept entity. Both of these were supposed to be here last week. It aint that friggin hard! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-61315-261582-t_tracks.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-61315-261583-router_guard.jpg)

Looks great compared to what FedEx has put me through on several occasions.

When Amazon ships through USPS, I cringe. But I don't get as much info as you:
Tuesday, March 4
12:00 PM
Package delayed in transit
I was supposed to get this one on Monday. Waiting.

Should the USPS be privatized?

USPS is mostly self fundedā¦.doesnāt receive tax dollars.
For what they do with the distances coveredā¦.its a freakinā bargain relative to other countries.
Amazon has them by the ballsā¦.I donāt know how it happenedā¦.but Amazon has the sweetest deal in the history of deals on their shipping ratesā¦..probably out of necessity (emails and faxes instead of postage mail)
Similar entities that thrive would be tollway authoritiesā¦.best business model known to mankindā¦.they can keeep raising and raising rates; but most people still have to drive.
Iām certain there are efficiencies that could be improved, but overall USPS has done a better job for me than FedEx

Iām sure Bezos LLC would love to monopolize the delivery of every letter and package sent.

Iām certain there are efficiencies that could be improved, but overall USPS has done a better job for me than FedEx They get loans from the US Treasury and are getting close to the $15 Billion ceiling. They lost $6.5 Billion in 2023 and were on track to loose $9.5 Billion in 2024. They got $8.64 Billion in 2021 of taxpayer money for Covid, the got $10 Billion thru the CARES Act and another $3 Billion to purchase electric vehicles. Try again.
