I used to sell a ton of stuff on Ebay so I was at the post office pretty much every day. A few of the people that work there told me that stuff from ebay/amazon and online sales is pretty much the only reason they are still around. If it weren't for those things and some junk mail they would have hardly any revenue.

You know it is a big deal for them because if you go in and tell them you will be ebaying a lot of stuff they will bend over backwards for you. They would deliver boxes and tape to my house and if I used the flat rate boxes I paid online and they would pick them up from my house. They do seem to be working hard to get that business.
