5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for USPS employees, especially Marketing,
By RicR2 (McLean, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Protecting Competition from the Postal Monopoly (Hardcover)
First, Want to know the arguments against the statements that follow? Then read this book.1. USPS should be granted greater flexibility to compete against UPS, FedEx, and the like. 2. A monopoly is necessary to preserve universal service. 3. USPS should subsidize mail delivery costs by using revenues from additional product lines. 4. USPS should become a profit center for the federal government. Second, it's interesting to note how much USPS's approach has changed, probably in response to concerns such as expressed in this book, since just 1995, when the research for this book was performed. For example, this book keeps alluding to "postal losses,'" which is a reminder of just how recently it has been since USPS started making money. Third, Chapter 2 includes the best description of the Private Express Statutes (the Statutes say that only USPS can deliver mail) that I've ever read (although I haven't read much about them). Succinctly put, Chapter 2 says: the Statutes apply to letters, but, what is a "letter," and who defines it? I am a USPS employee, and I read Postal Link (An In-house publication that includes letters on any subject from readers).
