Somebody supply some stats, because my opinion might be poo poo... ;-)

I have to have things(much bigger than a letter) to me. generally, I've used, UPS,fedex, whatever. a corporation. interestingly, on the final delivery it's most likely been the post office. apparently, the corps have contracted the post office to do the final delivery themselves when it's not time critical, giving the post office a mere pittance fee for a HUGE package. when it's time critical of course the corps do the delivery themselves.(2-5) times as much. Obiviously keeping ALL of the fee.


Seems to me they can simply keep to delivering letters and correspondence and their costs should be containable. AND charge the full-cost fee for end-to-end delivery of hefty packages.
