You’ve Got Mail (photo via Flickr/Ron Reiring)

In a recent article by Time, a survey shows that 81% of American 18-to-29-year-olds feel that the U.S. Postal Service is doing an excellent or good job. Being in “18-to-29-year-old” category, I guess I would agree. Criticism of the government is never lacking, but the USPS is a branch that I can’t say I have many complaints about.

I enjoy sending letters and care packages to my far-away-friends. There’s something special about receiving a tangible gift or letter opposed to an email or voice-mail. But many people my age don’t feel the same. The use of written letter has drastically declined, but the USPS has also become a courier of packages. It has partnered with Amazon to deliver on Sundays, as well as FedEx and UPS to deliver outside the private carriers’ residential services. The USPS seems to be doing whatever they can to make “The Post Office Experience” as easy and reliable as possible.
