Stamps could rise to $.50
More electronic billing coming to a computer near you!
--- The United States Postal Service may raise the price of first class postage to 50 cents. The U.S. Post Office, facing financial losses of up to $18.2 billion a year by 2015, wants to charge more for postage, more for services, and to suspend Saturday delivery. The 50-cent stamp would represent an 11 percent increase in postal rates. USPS delivers 40 percent of the world's mail. Its revenues exceed $65 billion a year. The service said last week that it lost $3.3 billion last quarter, and that it is forecasting a loss of $14.1 billion for the year ending Sept. 30. Such losses, said the Postal Service in a letter sent last week to Congress, would be "unsustainable" and would cause USPS to become "a burden" to the U.S. taxpayer. The letter called that outcome "highly undesirable." Currently, USPS gets no taxpayer dollars for its operating expernses, which are funded by the sale of postage and postal services. Suspending Saturday delivery would save $2.7 billion a year, the Postal Service says. Raising the cost of first-class postage to 50 cents would increase annual revenues by $1 billion. The post office's chief financial officer said USPS is the least expensive major postal service in the world, and that its services are "clearly underpriced." The last postal increase occurred late last month, when the cost of mailing a first-class letter rose from 44 cents to 45 cents. Rates also rose for packages, for periodicals, and for a wide variety of services. The law limits USPS increases overall to the rate or inflation, or 2.1 percent a year. Before the January increase, USPS first-class rates held steady for two and a half years. To raise revenue, the Postal Service has introduced new products. In 2012, they include Package Intercept: For $10.95 (plust Priority Mail postage), a customer can intercept and recall a package already sent before it reaches its destination.

So in the end with the very small price increase and shit they will still lose 14.5 billion/year instead of 18.2 billion so they are fucked either way unless they increase prices for everything that they provide. Of course, they would have to be fairly high increases.

What happened? Wasn't the USPS operating at a profit a few years ago?

In 2006 Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. In that law they required the USPS to prefund it's retiree health care benefits for the next 50 years. That fund comes out to $75 billion dollars to be funded in a 10 year span.

USPS is Screwed
Quote:
Can't count the number of times I saw coins on a letter instead of stamps. Many were elderly people, many were Postal Inspectors trying to trap you. UPS & Fedex may move packages. But postal inspectors still believe that you steal mail, you will go to prison. Wasn't that long ago that robbing a post office or a mail train was a hanging offense. Much as I hate postal inspectors, glad they make my mail safe. Hell, one bank robber used to mail the money home Registered Mail. He knew it would be safe. |

I send over 100 priority mail packages a month and think it has improved ten fold. No one likes to see prices rise but the money they are bleeding is too high. Unfortunately the USPS will never be a money maker because of many factors.

I wonder how much of their expenses are tied directly to the price of gasoline.
Seems like lower gas prices would have a major impact on their profitability... |
