Yesterday I went to a bulk mail (you call it junk mail) training class at the main post office on Van Buren. Unlike most people, I really like the USPS. A few reasons why I like the USPS.1. 37 cents gets a letter from LA to NY in 3 days.
2. USPS.com. The online postage service allows us to ship eBay merchandise without having to sign up for cumbersome FedEx or UPS accounts. USPS is perfect for small business people. And I never wait in line with all the chumps at the post office. Maybe if people actually went to the website, they wouldn't be fuming in line with their armful of boxes.
3. Free mail for the military when deployed.
4. Stamps. I used to collect them when I was a kid. My Uncle Dennis knew everything about stamps.
5. International shipping rates. Try sending something to China. For $30 USPS will get it there in 3-5 days with $100 insurance included. UPS costs $100 to ship and it will get there in 11 days.
6. This operation. ("Barney." Get it?) Amazing to see in action.
The Postal Service endures their share of criticism and stereotypes (see images above). But not from me.
Don't forget a shout out for those bulk mail rates!!!! Woohoo Bulk Mail!!!! Even better rates if you include the bar code and route carrier!!!!
