USPS issues final RPW reports for FY 2004

First class mail was down 1.1% for the year, while standard was up by 5.2%. There was almost as much Standard Mail (95.6 billion pieces) as First Class (97.9 billion) in the system for the year. Express Mail dropped 3.1%, Priority was down 1.3%. Package services were about the same as the prior year. Overall, domestic mail revenue increased by $59 million, on a volume increase of 3.9 billion pieces, or about a penny and a half revenue for each additional piece of mail.

Bye Bye Express mail and Priority mail! I thought the USPS was taking volume from UPS! Our volume isnt dropping! I guess all those free gimmick boxes arrent doing the trick! Stick with junk mail, thats the future of the USPS.

It seems that the Postal Service has become the advertising medium for UPS, FedEx, DHL....anybody who delivers packages. Ironically, USPS delivers the advertising mail and does not increase its own package volume. Let's hear it for the USPS marketing team....NOT!

As long as USPS continues to do business by delivering advertising mail at discounted rates to every American household without increasing its package business, the death spiral will continue.

p.s. Selling passports at every post office is NOT the revenue generating scheme that is going to save the P.O.

I think that the Postal Service is making itself into a distribution center for bulk rate discounted advertising mail for business who use Fed Ex, UPS or now DHL for the majority of their shipping.

Here is a idea, tell these businesses if they want their discounts they need to ship a percentage of their packages throught USPS or lose their discount rate. Lets see if these private companies like Fed Ex or UPS can deliver these advertisments for pennies like we do all the time. Even if these companies were allowed to do delivery to mailboxes, they could "NEVER" do it for the rates that the Postal Service gives now!

Seems like we are being used for the business of our competitors, and the companies who want us to continue our great discounts for their mailings do not want to give back anything for it. There is no way that private companies want to get into the business of delivering to every address in America with cheap advertisment mailings, and the Postal Service should know and understand this. It is time that the Postal Service gets a return for the service of delivering these discounted advertisments to every address in the nation..

If they wanted USPS service beyond junk mail they would be using already. Our deep discounts and superior service at UPS makes them loyal customers. The USPS loses because of its inferior technology and poor product preformance. Our discounts do not involve idiotic programs like keeping money in an account for
Express mail, or having to pay for special permits and having to print special endicia. With UPS you do the same thing every time and the discounts come off your bill. Ship now, pay later. Keep it up, USPS. Even Pitney Bowes ships with us!

Again........the ONLY reason anyone ships with your mediocre company is the volume discounts the USPS is NOT allowed to give.If the USPS is allowed to give the same type of discounts you would be smoked in very short order.That is why you would fight tooth and nail to prevent just that.Ups would FEAR waking the sleeping giant.
