Shit is getting legit.

Day specific delivery

Prices in line with or better than ups or FedEx. Free boxes? Fuck yeah.

I have always had good luck with USPS, but they are indeed getting better than ever.

I wonder how good UPS would be if they were subsidized by tax dollars.

I bet you'd get a free massage at the time of delivery.

Lol, we put a glory hole on every box. When it shows up, you just put your wang piece in the hole. Probably fit a Korean or Thai ladyboy in the box no problem.

Last time I shipped a guitar with Fedex it was almost$50. Just shipped one usps with insurance and tracking for $30. Now that usps offers solid tracking they are the only way to go.

I have a corporate FedEx high vol account and ground prices aren't too different from retail. Air prices are significantly cheaper.

Just shipped a pedal yesterday and the price was noticeably cheaper than the last time I shipped a pedal of the same weight/dimensions.

I like these developments.

Yeah we are getting new scanners in the next month or so that will show real time delivery like UPS and Fed Ex have.
Big push the past few months. We have weekly safety talks and they are always saying the future of USPS is in Packages.
And no USPS is not subsidized by tax dollars.

I ship with all shipping companies. All have pros and cons. But its usually 95% of the time USPS.

The Postal Service is not subsidized by tax dollars.
