Comment: I use it to send birthday cards, wedding anniversary cards, mail bills - but I do not want another rate increase! It's getting too expensive and I will have to stop sending what I do send! by Stacey

Comment: Only for a few bills that I cannot pay online and for Netflix by Brian

Comment: I sure do* I use the Post Office on Wiley Blvd. The female postal clerks are a great bunch of ladies* Joey Keeling by Joey

Comment: Sometimes I ship small items by USP. by Joe

Comment: There are still many ways that the postal service is needed. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the country is wired to the net. by Doug

Comment: I still send important documents by registered mail, and gifts, although I prefer sending gift cards these days. I mail bills. I also print things from e-mail or internet to send my folks, who don't use a computer. by Mary

Comment: Only when it is cheaper for packages. Fed Ex ground usually beats them and is safer for the packages. Letters...never.

Comment: all the time

Comment: Yes, I use the post office mail all the time. I even do some ordering thru the mail and not on line. by Cheri

Comment: I do not know what I would do without the postal service, I use them to mail packages to my nephew over in Iraq and to mail other important papers out too. I would be lost without the post office. by Sheryl

Comment: no reason to now with technology. The postal system has been broke for years and it will never turn a profit when it is top heavy.Look at the junk mail that comes into the system with special bulk rates and the average consumer is laden with the bill by paying for stamps.Raise them to 2 dollars,wont matter, as that will be revised in 6 months anyway. by terry

Comment: I definitely use it. I mail packages to my friends and family out of town, especially at Christmas. I like to still send "real" birthday cards to people, not just e-cards. I appreciate email, I think getting snail mail is a little more personal than electronic mail. by Angela

Comment: of course i do. what a stupid question! i do, however, use it less than ever. by rick

Comment: all we get is bills and junk mail. We pay bills online. Still like to get the paper bill to check it over by Joel

Comment: We use approx 250 stamps a year including holiday/other greetings. Why can't postal workers take a wage freeze and their upper level management should take a wage cut... All other firms do. by Howard
