The United States Postal Service was in the red $10 billion when it comes to financial debt since of Sept. 30 — not far off away from its $15 billion maximum debt limit, which the agency expects to hit soon in its 2011 fiscal year.
The challenges that continue to hurt USPS’s bottom lines are reflective of the “macro transform in society,” Postmaster General Jack Potter said at a press conference Monday previewing the proposed changes. “All posts all over this globe have been challenged, just as we are, by the diversion of hard copy to electronic medium.”
The Unites States Postal Service is a self-sufficient government agency and does not receive taxpayer dollars. It is to be funded entirely by its revenue generation. However, since the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 constrains the agency’s operations. It prohibits USPS from closing small branches, selling much of it valuable real estate and is based soled on economic factors. This prevents the agency from modernizing and expanding its services to keep up with technology and changing times.
In other parts of the world Post offices including Italy and Japan, have boosted sales by offering ancillary products and services, like banking. But because of Congress and the 1970 Postal Reform act USPS cannot expand beyond its most basic business model of selling stamp that can be done by machines and delivering letters that are quickly being replaced by email.
USPS has already started taking cuts to its current budget. The agency made $6 billion in cuts last year, reducing its workforce by about 40,000 employees and chopping overtime hours, transportation costs and additional expenses. Congress passed legislation allowing the organization to reduce retiree health benefit payments by $4 billion.
Despite those measures, the agency still expects net loss of $7.8 billion in fiscal 2010.
USPS employs about 600,000 workers, about half of whom will be eligible to retire within the actual following ten years. Potter said the agency has historically overpaid into its pension fund, and would reap significant savings if it stopped prefunding its retiree health care benefits.
New Delivery Schedule and Significant Price Hike
The new USPS mail delivery model will consequently go before Congress for final review. Also a significant USPS price hike is under consideration for 2011 that will impact USPS Certified Mail and Extra Services like Return Receipt, Restricted Delivery, and Registered Mail. The particular price most consumers about — the price regarding the first-class stamp — is locked in at 44 cents at least for 2010.
“At the end of the day, I’m convinced that if we make the changes that are necessary, we can continue to provide universal service for America for decades to come,” Potter said. “We can turn back from the red to the black, but there are some very significant changes that are going to have to be made.”
The paperless office, this idea and concept has been around for years but getting the concept to apply to USPS Certified Mail may be another thing.
Now You Can – Go Green with USPS Certified Mail & Electronic Return Receipt
The Paperless Office concept has been around for years but getting the concept to actually stick is another thing. Many offices are filled with high speed copiers, printers and fax machines, and yes that friendly USPS letter carrier continues to bring us more paper each day.
It seams impossible to be entirely paperless in todays workplace. I am frequently asked by prospective clients how they can eliminate those old fashioned Green Cards and still have the legal proof their Certified letter was delivered. This is when I introduce them to the Electronic Return Receipt that is included with each of our Certified Mail Envelopes. It allows you to access your mailing, in-route tracking and Certified Letter delivery tracking information electronically through our online web based Certified Mail Electronic Tracking & Delivery Confirmation (ETC) service. You can access 24/7 all of your Certified Mail tracking and delivery history for 7 years. Print what you need when you need it. No more lost green cards. You no longer need to bury yourself under a mountain of USPS green card papers and forms . Instead each letter and print the Electronic proof of mailing or delivery confirmation and Signatures records recorded by USPS on demand.
Our web based Certified Mail Envelopes automation provides you ‘custom search fields’ to quick track and print your data. Use a custom account number, reference ID or unique ID to quickly find each letter. This links your USPS Certified Mail letter with your unique customer information and can help you find information quickly – on demand. When you are ready to track your letters, just use the search box in our web software to see your letter has been delivered by USPS or if perhaps it has been refused.
Look at the benefits of going green:
• Saves time and money on the cost of paper, printing, print cartridges.
• Labor savings, you no longer need to file each proof of mailing and delivery record
• Reduced storage space because your records are electronically stored online
• Unlike paper records, electronic records can’t be misplaced in the mail stream and lost.
