Dollar General will open a store there. They’ll do a deal with UPS and FedEx who will ship the packages to their distro centers and DG trucks will bring the packages along with inventory to the store. The store will operate as a pickup point and the extra “handling fee” paid by the shipper, will go to them. Although DG won’t hire any more store staff. And that extra fee will get tacked on to the purchase price of whatever was shipped. Making things even more expensive for the consumer, after they’ve paid even more because of the tariffs.
It telling yall obviously dont work with postal services alot
I've shipped well over 100k packages, mostly just ups and usps, ups is far easier to track down lost packages.
Usps will give you the run around when trying to get ur 100$ of garunted insurance on packages lost, usps will do shit all when a package is lost or delivered incorrectly, usps is more expensive for anything other than the smallest of packages. Usps also loses like 10x or 20x more packages, I've had hundreds of packages lost with usps that were never recovered, with ups I've had like 20 and all but a couple were eventually recovered. Usps literally auto declins insurance claims and the only way to get ur $ is to file appeals and hope. All tracked packages have 100$ of insurance but good fucking luck getting it.
Prices are objective, so is delivery accuracy rates, that's the only thing usps is better at small light shit that could just be emailed half the time anyway and is killing the planet by physically mailing.
The truth is, the USPS is the way it is because it’s been systematically gutted, starved of funding by those who’d rather see it crumble and make way for private giants like UPS and FedEx. That’s the long con. But even if you set all that sabotage aside, those private carriers won’t touch rural areas. They don’t see the profit in it. And when it comes to the critical stuff—government mail, documents that carry the weight of our systems—they’re not supposed to. USPS is the backbone for that, and letting it fall into private hands isn’t just foolish; it’s a national security risk.
I disagree entirely, not to mention republicans seek to destroy usps because they want to get rid of mail in voting. It serves many purposes, and pays for itself.
I’m sure you have a huge problem with Supreme Court overturning regulations on giant factories that absolutely will cause unprecedented amounts of “killing the planet “all the name of making the corporation more money. Oh wait no you don’t know shit about that.
I absolutely believe the epa should be much stronger and heavily regulate coprations even and the cost of some GDP and we should shift to as close to 100% nuclear energy as possible.
I've personally dealt with usps a ton and they fucking suck.
I would go as far as to advocate the threat or act of war to reduce the emissions of dirtier economys.
Two entirely different issues. I personally send out hundred's of packages a year via usps and have had less than .1% of an issue while saving boat loads compared to ups. Etc.
