I'm Going Postal

I know that the US Postal Service is suffering budget cuts and closing Post Offices nationwide.  But I seem to be going there more than I ever have before.

I think that the US Postal Service is missing a great marketing opportunity.  It hit me as I went to the Post Office for the 3rd time this month.  On-line shopping has created a boon for the Post Office.  There are so many items I have purchased on line for my family that either don't fit, don't work or were just a bad idea. The time I thought I was saving by shopping at home has been killed by the amount of trips I have to take to the post office to RETURN all  my purchases.  I can't be the only one who now finds herself at the Post Office all the freaking time?  Don't you think they should be seeing an uptick in business?  I know Herb at my local Post Office agrees with me!

    Well stores such as the UPS store are putting a dent into the potal service but what happened to the good old days of getting a letter/card in the mail?
