20 years ago it was, today I can be on the beach just about anywhere in the world with cell service and email you that same letter from my phone, in seconds for damn near free.

Also unlike the mail which is limited email covers the globe and space.


At the root of it that's the problem, there business model is obsolete.

In the last year, 2 of my packages got lost and the seller had to refund me money. One of them came a month later and I had to refund the refund. When I ebay or anything that involves sending something, either we do Fedex or UPS as a 2nd choice. If you insist on USPS, you take full responsibility.
