    yeah but what most ppl don't know is is that usps has a $10 million per yr contract with ups to deliver and a $1 billion per yr contract with fedex to deliver their stuff.

    But what difference does that really make? So they contract out instead of spending capital. But if USPS is cheaper or more convenient, why not use them? I've had more problems with UPS anyway, even with their handy tracking system.

    what diff does what make? i don't think u even understood me, i was just pointing out the fact that even when someone ships by usps, it could very well end up being delivered by ups or fedex?
