Bye Bye USPS volume.

I don't think so

I think so. Check the FY 2004 volume numbers.

I distinctly remember back in 1997 while I was still in management, we had a district meeting. Those at district level stated our future was in bulk business mail & that the usps was primarily going to focus on this product, letting the express and parcel business go to whomever. At that time I thought this was a bad idea. Now here we are 2004 and district is telling us we need to get the express and parcel business back. Can someone tell me who made these idiotic decissions and are they still working for the postal service? I bet they are still here.

Not reading the article are we BS?Did you miss the part about the USPS being Fed Ex's BIGGEST customer?If we had no volume how could that be?
OK, hit me with some more propaganda straight from the ups hot air machine!

No problem.They are doing a great job for us.Most ALL priority parcels are delivered in 2 days now 'cause they go quicker on Fedex planes.

And they get to stab you in the back and steal your customers as well. I cant say im not jealous. We would be copying all the addresses into our system en route.

Copy all you want.We always beat you in any test anyway.
Not worried in the least.I hardly see customers being stolen by their flying parcels.But go ahead and spin any yarn you want.
Merry Christmas to all, even to BS99.
