Postal Service, Citing Losses, Seeks Higher Stamp Prices

The U.S. Postal Service is hoping it can soon raise stamp prices by a penny or more.


An independent agency, the postal service does not use taxpayer money for its operations.

congreess forces post office to do dumb things. like saturday delivery....

major cost cuts are necessary. but congress prevents them


What about Sunday deliveries for Amazon Prime?

The solution is put the squeeze on Amazon. Amazon's getting a $100 bucks a year from all of their Prime
members for two-day shipping. The USPS needs a bigger piece of the action there, not from the taxpayers.

IMO, the post office is a pretty good deal for what you pay. I'm often
amazed at the service such as a package from CA to CT in two or three
days for $3.50.
