What are you talking about? Here in America, the USPS isn't reducing service at all, it's increasing service by delivering parcels on Sundays. While we definitely have big problems in other areas (*cough* healthcare *cough*), our postal service is doing just fine, unlike yours apparently.
Well either you haven't been paying attention or you have a short memory. There is this little thing how the USPS is loosing a bit of money,

Yea, other than that your doing fine. Package delivery is up everywhere, especially now during the holidays, but mail delivery is way down everywhere all year long. Things are going to change.
HOLY MACRO!
