You missing USPS psckages? Maybe here is what happened to them...

You ever actually see the volume of mail being processed?

Yes. My Brother-in-law worked at the main PO in Newark, NJ. He's retired now. Retired as post master in Marlboro, NJ.

I also have 22 years of personal experience in operations management, and as a VP of Ops. in a very large multi-national corporation, and I know what it takes to handle and move extremely high volumes of merchandise. My specialty, for 22 years plus was the movement of materials, locally, domestically, and internationally on a schedule, and with minimal loss or damage. But then what do I know, I only made it happen for 22 years (1970-1992), and I can tell you this, the postal service's methods a handling material was obsolete back in the 70's, and except for routing methods, the handling procedures are still antiquated.

That's not all their fault, either, for decades they've been losing money, so the funding for upgrades hasn't been there. Headlines say it pretty clearly: USPS reports $1.9B loss in 3-month period (By Tyler DunnPublished: May 9, 2014). With efficiency like that, it's difficult to justify dumping in more money to be flushed.

Loading "Hi and tight" with time constraints and unreasonable deadlines is not a USPS exclusive.

...and stop taking everything said so personally. Geez!
