If you use online services to buy postage it's much cheaper. I found this out after paying $8.60 to mail a half ounce, 3/8" thick envelope. Was told it couldn't go first class for $1.31 and that was the least expensive method.
To PMG - Drive your costs down by eliminating walked routes. I see many areas that can easily convert to curbside mail box.

I've been an online seller for two decades. Dealing with the USPS system over lost and/or late deliveries is a large part of my job. As a whole, the USPS is a necessary evil and I deal daily with their inadequacies. But even based on an extremely low bar of expected performance, the Meriden, CT branch is shockingly incompetent. They are the worst branch I've had to deal with, scanning packages as 'closed commercial' so the carrier doesn't have to finish his route. Then once they decide not to deliver a package, it sits in their branch. No action whatsoever, it just sits. Their direct phone line is not answered ever. It rings for 30 seconds then disconnects. For three days I phoned 10-12 times per day, never an answer. Everyone in this branch needs to be let go and they need to hire people that understand how to work.

This post office is horrible! Lines going almost out the door and there is only one person at the desk. Ridiculous!!! Poor customer service! Hate coming to this post office. They need to hire more staff! Waiting along time in the line to be helped is outrageous.
