Re: Seek Alternatives said by morbo:said by jp10558:Yea, but in this case, if the Post Office can't handle it, they ought to remove the law barring competition... You're under the belief that UPS and FedEx would provide a comparable, flat rate service to every person in this country within 5-7 business days. I'm certain they would deliver your postcard for $5 instead of $0.25. Well, yea. But then what exactly is the harm in allowing the competition? No one would use a service that cost many times as much unless they really did need that delivered on a Saturday for some reaso -- Opera 10(Build 1750); Windows XP Pro SP3;Intel C2Q6600; 3GB DDR2 1066; 1M/128k DSL; Antivir Personal; Comodo Internet Security 3.10;Proxomitron 4.5j Sidki 2009-06-06,GPG ID:0x0A1C6EE3 |

So they would cherry pick routes and then leave the more expensive routes for the USPS to provide, at taxpayer expense.
I'm all for competition and level playing fields, but if UPS/FedEx want to play the game, they should have to play the entire game. |
