Volume is ALL that matters. Why should an organism of the US government create favored rules for small businesses based on small volume that no privately owned company would grant or make money delivering? This is yet another way for USPS to continue to be run at a huge loss.
The USPS is already bleeding money daily based on just these types of compromises, I do not think we should hamstring it further by making sunday delivery highly unprofitable for the USPS.
Makes perfect sense that the companies that have the volume make the deal, and everyone wins. I can wait another day for a mom and pop item to arrive.
With the logic of making it open for any business regardless of volume, for example you would require a bakery to stay open 24 hours because someone MIGHT want to buy a cupcake at 2 am.
Right now the bakery is willing to stay open because 60k cupcakes can be delivered at 2am. Everyone makes money
