The United State Postal Service has a major budget short fall. Last year the postal service was nearly 3 billion dollars in the red. In order to decrease the budget gap, the postal service is expected to raise rates another 2 cents in May. Also, another option is to reduce delivery from the current 6 days to 5 days. The most logical day to reduce delivery on is Saturday. Another day is to reduce delivery is Tuesday.
The postal service has had their share of issues. I sell things on ebay and now its completely too complicated to figure out how much to charge people. There used to be a set rate depending upon the weight of the item. Sometime in 2003, the USPS changed the way prices were set. Instead of using just the weight, they use zones too. It way too complicated.
