UPS Does Not Necessarily Win If The Postal Service Fails

UPS Does Not Necessarily Win If The Postal Service Fails
If the Postal Service does fall, then it could have dramatic effects on many small businesses. Currently one of the largest generators of income for the Postal Service is what is commonly referred to as "junk mail". These advertising companies provide so much of this mail because it has such a huge profit margin for them. Although many people simply throw their junk mail in the garbage without looking at it, there are apparently enough people making purchases to make this method of advertising effective and important. If the Postal Service fails, then these companies will have few other options. Although they could turn to UPS, the prices that are offered by the company would be too high for these advertisers to make money. That means that many of these companies could simply die off. That means less mail for the typical person, but it also means the loss of more jobs and companies.
