I have maybe a unique perspective on this. I manage a credit union that was founded in 1928 by postal workers to serve postal workers. Now we have a broader field of membership, but our main core of members is still postal workers. In other words, I deal with a lot of different USPS employees, from carriers to sorters to management. I can tell you that there are a lot of quality people working for the USPS but there is also a lot of dead wood. It seems impossible to fire a bad employee. A USPS employee has to just about kill someone to get terminated and have it stick. Otherwise the union always jumps in and gets them their job back. Also, there are a lot of frustrated USPS employees here because of one Hitleresque manager in the local P.O. There doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of the guy. I've even had USPS employees (who are also on my CU board of directors) talk to our congressmen about what it takes to get a bad manager removed. For my own ebay selling activities, I like Priority Mail for items less than 3 lbs. Anything bigger I use FedEx Ground. I quit using UPS because whenever I would calculate the shipping cost on their website based on zipcodes and package size, the price would always be higher when I went to UPS to actually send the thing. With FedEx Ground I never have a surprise and I've never had a shipment go bad. Plus FedEx Ground is routinely cheaper than UPS.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
