24. To illustrate the point, he held up a book of Forever
stamps that cost $8.20. "This book here I just bought will

Battle of the Brands
"The largest player in the U.S. overnight package delivery
business is attempting to increase its market share in the
fast-delivery business next month. USPS is barely holding on
to its 32% market share in the business, as FedEx and UPS
continue to push the envelope at 31% and 25% market share,
respectively. For the first time, shippers using Express Mail,
Priority Mail, and several other parcel services will be able
to get lower rates for large- and medium-volume contracts,
according to the agency. Will UPS and FedEx need to cut their
prices further to compete with the USPS?" -

Complaints of undelivered mail, poor service dog Rockaway
post offices
"Postal problems in the Rockaways are piling up like junk
mail. Rep. Gregory Meeks is hosting a town hall meeting Friday
to address growing dissatisfaction with mail service on the
peninsula, and has invited U.S. Postal Service brass from
Washington to listen to the complaints. "There is so much
incompetence and lack of supervision" at the Far Rockaway post
offices, said Meeks. "I'm hearing from a lot of seniors who
don't get their Social Security checks on time. A lot of
people aren't getting their bills." -

Carrier Accused of Warning Customer About 'Mail Cover'
Surveillance
"Here's a good reason to remember your postal carrier at
Christmas time. Apparently, he or she can tell you if the
government is secretly monitoring your mail. Federal
prosecutors in Detroit say letter carrier Darlene Cry
illegally tipped off a postal customer that he was the subject
of a "mail cover" -- a form of warrantless surveillance in
which the envelope information on every card and letter
received is secretly recorded by the Post Office, then passed
to federal law enforcement or intelligence officials." -
