(quoted from post at 06:51:21 12/24/16) In building up my model train layouts, and other models and non related things, I bought a couple hundred things and USPS handled them very expediciously. ebay was usually the fastest response to a purchase, even with some products being free shipping..."Boat Mail" one would think (slowest form). If you are unaware, ebay has a feedback system whereby sellers are rated by customers and punctuality is one of the rating stars. Get lousy grades and you get kicked off as a seller! Neat!
I am really impressed with the fact that USPS has teemed with FedEx for a cooperative delivery system which is fast and inexpensive. It makes a lot of sense to me especially for rural deliveries of small parcels.
Another plus is I get to meet my mail carrier and chat. Another is the mail carrier brings the "you have to sign for it to get it" parcel to your door rather than you having to go to the post office to sign and pick it up.
Another plus is this added revenue for the postal service which surely adds to their financial solvency ambitions.
So from my camp: 3 cheers for the USPS!!!!!!!!
