With the agency losing billions of dollars a year, the President thinks that the USPS should start charging Amazon more for utilizing its shipping services. The Postal Service is Amazon’s number one carrier, delivering “about 62 percent of Amazon packages, for about 3.5 to 4 million a day during the current peak year-end holiday shipping season.”
“Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office dumber and poorer? Should be charging MUCH MORE!” Trump wrote on Twitter. The U.S. Postal Service, which runs at a big loss, is an independent agency within the federal government and does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses.
