Postal Letter

How many of you have received advertizing mailings from US Postal Service?

In the last few weeks I have received 3 "keeping you Posted" cards form the US Postal Service. It tells us how we can handle our postal needs. Now I have been able to take care of my postal needs on my own with no problem. What is a problem is, that when I go to the post office there is no place to park, I wait in a long line and am finally waited on by surely clerks. Our postal rates were raised not long ago. How many more cards do you think they will send out before they raise the rates again. Is it really neccessary for our post office to send out cards telling us how to conduct our business?

1. i have too.
2. I've gotten them. They go in the same place as all the other junk mail
3. i have received these. im not sure if the cost of mailing ads is worth it, but they are advertising their express shipping. i still think fedex is best, but usps is still better than UPS. i think the point they are trying to make, is that the USPS is still a viable option for commercial mailing and parcel handling. they should just come out and say UPS sucks.
4. I just throw those stupid cards in the trash. Seems to me that maybe if they didn't send those stupid things out to everyone in the country, then they could save enough not to have to raise the rates so often!!!
5. I think it is a way to eventually have people do all the mailing business themselves, while still paying inflated rates for the service, while the government makes billions of dollars off of it. Remember, the government is so in debt, that even the wealthiest person living in the States could not pay it off. Lately, the system is just getting worse and more unreliable. Whether you pay 5 or 50 dollars, it all gets there at the same time, forwarding mail to a new address is a joke, and the post carriers love to make it so all your stuff gets wet if it's not a perfect sized piece of mail for a perfect mailbox. It's a big fat cash cow to me.
6. The thing I don't like is, I just bought a house. A couple of days after I went to the post office to change my address I started receiving packets on how to change my address for my magazines. One was ok but then I got three more. How many do they think I need?
7. I hate those things. Why are they raising my rates to send me JUNK MAIL!
