Why the US Postal Service Fails to Satisfy

GW:  So here’s the latest bit of evidence as to why the United States Postal Service is failing.  Here’s how it handled a flat rate box priority 3 day shipping.  And, this comes after another package, another time, was shipped to Australia instead of Arizona.  I got my hands on it some 30 days later.  And, with a perfectly legible label and no customs papers.  Oh, and no explanation. 

And, quick!  What longstanding business closes at odd hours for lunch?  Yep, there’s no mystery here despite all the taxpayer subsidies and TV commercials.  It’s a prime example of how government functions without the threat of competition.
