    Amazon is serious about continuing making that $$$$ while slowly putting other retailers out of business.I seriously don't see Best Buy staying in business to much longer.

    From the government and US Post Office perspective. I see this as a way for them to revive & save the US Post.For years we have been hearing about how the US Post Office is bankrupt and is on life support.

    It was free for 6 months, and after that It's half price I think.

    It definitely was the past few years. I'm thinking something changed in the last year. I took the L and paid $40 more than worth it for me but still going from free to $$ is [​IMG]

    that'll be the day when all brick and mortar retail stores close down across the US word to blockbuster. It's inevitable.

    LOL @ "............its flexible employee scheduling......."

    I can already hear my boss. 
    "I need you to work 12 hours today"

    "But it's my birthday"

    "Oh well. 12 hours"[​IMG]

    This is such a smart move, and honestly, only something that a company like Amazon can make happen.

    It's a win-win-win situation. Most importantly, USPS gets a boost in revenue/work, which is great for America.

    I'm an MHA. My job probably won't be affected much aside from the longer hours on friday or saturday. The post office was careful when they settled on the new Mail Handler position. MHA's don't get sunday premium. Right now I have sundays off but we'll see if that remains.

    Not at all. You guys have to go through all of the headaches and initial lapses that any new product or service faces.

    By the time it gets to us, it is nearly flawless. I'll take a finished product over a beta product any day.

    :pimp:
