13 Things Your Mail Carrier Won’t Tell You

This is true. The post office is one of the (if not the only) government agencies that is 100% self-sufficient. They do not get tax dollars or money from the government. Whenever postage goes up, it's typically because the cost of technology used, gas, cost of benefits, or wages have gone up. Anyway, I just thought I would share this. I know my dad has told me several of these, but I didn't know if everyone was aware. |

You wouldn't need any swing men. Letter carriers get every Sunday off, and the other day rotates (Monday one week, Tuesday the next week, and so on). The swing man has five different routes that he delivers, because he delivers different people's routes on their days off. Plus any part time weekend clerks wouldn't be needed.

Interesting note: Congress requires that the USPS fund both the retirement program and the health plan at 100%. USPS has over-funded the plans by $75 billion and they want it back. $75 billion is equal to a year’s income at the USPS. Congress has been adding the over-payment to the budget cuz it makes the deficit look smaller. They'll probably just keep taking the extra money until the deficit eases up.

I guess I never realized so many people hate the post office. Oh well.

Packages can go through UPS or FedEx. USPS is worthless when it comes to tracking packages compared to UPS/FedEx. |

What's on the civil service exam? I vaguely remember hearing about it in the past, but didn't know that it still existed. What type of questions do they ask?

I love how the post office consistently loses packages that I've sent. It's happened twice in the last month.
I've only had 1 ups lost package, and they actually tried to help me find it. The post office just blew me off. F U post office. I only use you for letters now. I don't care if you are cheaper.
