can rent a Thermal printer from FedEx or UPS for far less than buying one.
UPS gives free thermal printer labels to business account holders.
UPS and FedEx offer freight shipments as well.
High volume business could save up 30% on postage costs.

Courier Cons:

International Shipments are expensive due to brokrage fees.
Employees treated like dirt and used as subcontracted workers without healthcare benefits for full time employment.
UPS is nicknamed United Package Smashers for a reason.
UPS has been invoved in many lawsuits by ex-employees due to wage issues (overtime pay) or sexual harrasment claims.
They require 4x6 Thermal Printer Labels or can be printer with pieace of printer papper.
2.4 v 7.25 inch Dymo 99010 labels are NOT allowed on any UPS or Fedex shipment, 4x6 sized only.


So their is a purpose for the USPS for smaller shipments and low volume sellers sending box shipments. Trump shouldn't disband the USPS IMO since it really doesn't benefit us to do so. UPS and FedEx have no interest in lower rates for letter and padde mailer mail. They don't have enough manpower to deliver tons of letter mail for the costs of ~ $0.40 to $1.80 per flat.

Some countries like Germany subcontract their box/parcel shipments to couriers and let the local post office deal with letters and padded mailers. This could be an option, for USPS to push all the parcel off to couriers so they can keep elderly workers delivering out small stuff.
