When was the last time USPS delivered you a 100 pound UPS unit over night from across the country while letting you track it's progress?
Trouble is, now they can't. Why? Because they'd be threatening the jobs of hard working Fedex/UPS/etc. employees.
It's crazier than you think. http://www.usps.com/news/2001/press/pr01_015.htm Express, Priority, and First Class mail flies FedEx, and has since 2001. I's part of a larger deal which is also why you now see a FedEx drop box at every post office. I guess it's coopertition. I think I just made up a word. :) So if it's illegal for you to put a letter inside a FedEx box, what's the penalty for moving all the first class mail in a FedEx airplane. :D Oh yeah, FedEx can now deliver to APO and P.O. Boxes as well. http://fedex.com/us/smartpost/ -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
