[QUOTE="100%ORIONComplianceGuy, post: 6038571, member: 109837"] Since this thread is no longer exactly about SurePost volume I’ll take this opportunity to chime in and say…….the USPS is long past due for privatization or elimination. I prefer the latter. We don’t need them. Why is the government delivering retail items and competing with the private sector to do so?
