Re: postage stamps going up

[ Edited ]

It helps to write coherent posts and present accurate facts:

 

The USPS Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $150,000  for information leading to arrest and conviction relating to the robbery and assault of a Chicago letter carrier.

 

The misrepresentation in that post is appalling:

 

"..USPS wanted by police for stealing 150k from mail"

 

 And to think that some get their "news" from these forums.

 

This has absolutely nothing to do with the service provided by the USPS or its carriers.

Thank you @THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes that post ahead of yours was filled with misinformation.  Thanks for correcting and spreading the truth.  

 

I stood in line yesterday at the post office to mail a package to my two grandchildren, an early surprise before Easter.  Those smiles when a child sees their name on a piece of mail or package.  Priceless.

I have no problem with our Post Office. Nicest people you could meet.  Delivered mail in all kinds of weather. Pleasant and professional.

I do have a problem with your post though.  False information, inaccurate from the get go.

I cannot remember the last time we bought stamps or even used any. We still have about a dozen Forever but I can't even remember the price we paid.

 

It still seems like a bargain though considering your mail travels across the country.

 

I doubt USPS raises prices just for kicks. Sure there can be problems with any company but it could be worse if we returned to the Pony Express.🐎😛
