well tbh the post office is kinda obsolete as it is, what with emails and text and all that good crap, thank technology for that *cough cough hint hint* frankly i aint gonna miss it
how are you going to receive packages? that would mean you'll be forced to use expensive UPS/Fedex/etc. service.

Not a good substitute.People would have to send ecards!
True. That includes many deaf workers, too.It would horrible if the post offices shut down all those people will out of work.
Do you mean the small vehicles with the steering wheel on the right?I wonder it people would be able to buy the cars, they would made a nice small camper.

Many of the rural carriers use their own cars instead. They really stretch to reach the steering wheel and mailboxes.
Well too many places depends on the post office. Its a way of verifying your home address to the government. Banks, DMV's, IRS depends on the post office. Wedding invitations, junk mailings, spring seed catalogs etc. will throw the Americans into a hissy fit for sure if the post office shuts down completely. There are too many elderly that needs the post office still for the next 10-20 years and cannot adapt to electronic form of info.
On the other hand, if usps DO shut down, I bet the overnight freight companies could step in to take that piece of mailing pie for extra revenue. Wouldnt that be cool? mail a letter for birthday or wedding invite overnight? perfect for couples eloping but still wants a reception or something similar without the expense of months of picking out stationary, the napkins, etc.
Nooo! I love my mail man (his name is Terry and he brings me presents and I give him cookies). If the USPS closes, I will cry. I have been increasing my mailings recently to give them more support. I am tempted to write a letter to the local postmaster begging them to not take Terry's job - and everyone else.
Honestly, I think FedEx and UPS are nice, but they just aren't the USPS.
Nooo! Your carrier will still be your carrier. If not, then who will deliver the mail to you? Utilities companies such as your local electric, gas and water companies still mail bill statements to us every month. Today alot of customers have switched to electronic payments but alot of other customers like me don't choose to do so anyway.
One day..... you will be forced to switch.
And no more TTY for calling in work
