[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 913359, member: 52972"] KL, I said that we would need a mail service to deliver some documents like passports, drivers licenses so please reread my post. It appears you misread my post. It appears you are in agreement that there are some documents that cannot be accepted in an electronic or digitized format and would have to use some form of snail mail delivery. And I also said that UPS or FedEx could do that. My real question is; would UPS or FedEx want to do that, and do the have the infastructure to take over the full load of the USPS and the daily increase of millions of pieces of mail? I don't think they can do it without a huge infusion of cash to be able to handle such a huge increase in volume. I don't know the exact numbers but I would guess that the USPS volume is easily 10 times the volume of UPS and FedEx combined. Also think about how FedEx works...Everything FedEx picks up in a day, is sent to their Memphis headquarters where it is sorted, and loaded on another plane to go to the FedEx office closest to the destination. Could FedEx in Memphis even handle even half of USPS's daily load of mail? Are we going to have to pay UPS or FedEx prices to ship a letter? Are we going to have to use their barcode lables to send a simple lett...after all that's what keeps their packages moving so fast is all the automation. If that's the case, why not automate the USPS like FedEx? Why not charge FedEx rates for USPS mail and USPS will be a solvent, viable service again? The government bailed out the banks, why can't we bail out the USPS? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
