When your Postal truck approaches the gasoline pump have the rates ever dropped ? Do you expect the consumer to be stupid enough to think in a climate of everything showing price increase that postage might not be affected ? So charge fair prices for 1st Class delivery on ALL Postal services !
Lets be fair now, did UPS or FedEx reduce there rates? They raised there rates with a fuel surcharge when gas went up . We cant because our Congress wont allow us to. the PO needs to have there hands untied to where we can be competitive. Until we will be allowed to play on a level playing field nothing will change.
The new postal service: raise rates, cut service.
