#1 Meanwhile, packages that used to take 3 days for delivery now take 5-7 days.

#3 Article I, Section 8

The Congress shall have power..

To establish post offices and post roads;

It was never intended to be a profitable commercial entity. It is a Constitutional responsibility and should never have been spun off as to imply it could ever be. Return it back to direct Congressional control and make your representatives and senators directly responsible. You can then let them know how you feel about the quality of service every election day.

#6 We've had quite good service from USPS (who also have often been our 'last mile' UPS deliverer.) And we are at the 'end of the route' - postwoman turns around in our driveway to go back to 'town' (2010 pop 516.)

#7 That article from the Constitution doesn't seem to specify any standard of performance for the "post roads" and "post offices". That leads me to think Congress has performed its duty, long ago. People have forgotten that at one time five first class stamps cost as much as an acre of government land.
