Getting those last drops of profit margin require you to squeeze the consumer the hardest.

- djbusby 5y agoUSPS doesn't insert the ad into the post, they *deliver* an ad in the post. They aren't making it and inserting it - like what MS is doing.
- dixie_land 5y agoI’m not a fan of USPS but I agree this is not their fault. In fact they’re not allowed to “filter” the mails.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoUSPS inserted this link into their Informed Delivery email to me last week: https://pugetsoundraffle.com/overview?usps_mid=106545&usps_sn=572591201 https://pugetsoundraffle.com/overview?usps_mid=106545&usps_s... Absolutely no excuse there for USPS to be sending me spam links when informed delivery was supposed to be a way to get a picture of your coming mail.
