  2/ Universal service ends. USPS is legally required to deliver everywhere at the same rate. Alaska to Manhattan, same stamp price. Private carriers charge $4.50-$5.40 "residential surcharges" and $3-$6 "rural surcharges" on top of base rates.

  @thespunkyskunk @CBSNews That a good question. Almost never use them, get one valid letter for every 50 pieces of junk mail, but have relatives that work for them. So it’s not about dislike, it’s about antiquated thinking. We live in the modern digital age and the USPS is a service that is following in the footsteps of the pony express, but taxpayers are subsidizing it all the way to its certain death. Was this arguing? Thought we were discussing.

  @lynnstolze @WallStreetApes The US Postal Service (USPS) is grappling with a severe financial crisis, projecting it could run out of cash by February 2027 without intervention, due to declining mail volumes, rising costs, and prior unfunded mandates. To preserve liquidity for payroll, supplier payments, and mail delivery, the USPS Board of Governors announced on April 9, 2026, that it will temporarily suspend its employer contributions to the defined-benefit portion of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) starting April 10. This affects postal workers and other federal civil servants under FERS but does not halt employees' own contributions, Thrift Savings Plan matches, or Social Security payments. The pause is expected to free up about $2.5 billion this fiscal year, with no immediate impact on current retirees' benefits or pensions—similar to a 2011 deferral during another crunch. USPS is also seeking a 4-cent stamp price hike for added revenue.

  Grok: along with the headline phrasing about suspending "pension payments to postal workers and civil servants." However, this is a slight exaggeration or simplification of the actual announcement. Here's the precise situation based on official USPS statements and multiple reports from April 9, 2026: - USPS is temporarily suspending only its employer contributions to the defined benefit portion of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) annuity (the traditional pension part). - This is not suspending: - Employees' own payroll deductions/contributions into FERS (those continue and are still sent to the Office of Personnel Management). - Payments to current retirees (their annuity checks are not affected in the short term). - Contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) — the 401(k)-style portion, including both employee and employer automatic/matching contributions. - Employer contributions to Social Security. - The move is expected to free up about $2.5 billion in cash for the current fiscal year (by stopping ~$200 million biweekly employer payments to OPM for FERS). - USPS describes it as a short-term cash conservation step due to a severe financial crisis and warnings that the agency could run out of cash by February 2027 without reforms or additional measures (like proposed stamp price increases). This is similar to a temporary suspension USPS did back in 2011 during another liquidity crunch. Unions like NALC and APWU have noted it has no immediate impact on current or future retirees' benefits, as those are protected by law—the funding mechanism is just being paused on the employer side for now. The post's wording ("suspend pension payments to postal workers and civil servants") can sound scarier than the reality, which is why some replies in the thread express confusion or alarm about retirees not getting paid. In truth, it's targeted at future funding obligations rather than stopping outgoing checks to existing pensioners. USPS has long faced structural issues, including legacy pre-funding requirements for retiree health benefits from the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, declining mail volumes in some areas, and rising costs. This is one stopgap while pushing for congressional action. If you'd like, I can pull more details from the official USPS release or explain how FERS works for postal employees.

  @KeithMalinak @USPS @USPSHelp If you think that's bad, try talking to DHL's customer service. I even had a direct number & after it rings a few times it hangs up.

  @PokeCardsDaily @USPS I recently had that happen. I got a painting (yes, an actual framed painting, very small), and they stuck it in my box with no way for me to get it out. I had to leave a note for them to drop it at my door since the back where they place mail is wider than the door I open to get it. He threw it at my door the next day. I heard the thud. Wonderful service!

  @PG_rayC @TCGplayer USPS is ***. They've lost more than one of my orders from TCGplayer (or the seller never shipped them, had an issue with Direct recently too), but asking for more because the price went up is incredibly sus.

  @skillz17q Your individual problems are not indicative of a systemic problem. I’m 100% certain more your shipments came through USPS than you realize. Your complaint likely has more to do with issues upstream over any shipping agent and likely is driven by Amazons own fulfillment network
