    postal mail

    in Business Side of Things

    Posted

    When you have people who'd rather sit on their butts and play solitaire on the computer, you are gunna have wasteful spending. (one of the only reasons I'm glad our local office closed)

    But in all honesty, things change. We don't need a nationalized postal service. With the use of email, texting, and the like, sending a traditional letter just doesn't happen like it used it.

    95% of our bills are paperless (all the ones that offer it). They even manage to add ads. As for supermarket ads, I get those emailed too. I print out the coupons I need.

    Half the time I regret even going into the post office to mail something. It's like playing 20 questions. Is it fragile, liquid, hazardous? Do you need insurance? The question I hate the most! I'm paying you to do a service, and to do it correctly. When you go to a garage to get your car service, I think you'd fall over if they'd ask you to pay more in the event that the mechanic broke something off that he shouldn't have. AND NO... I don't want a teddy bear or framed art!:tiptoe:

    Im a retired Postal manager; so, thought I'd throw in some thoughts. The mail service is slower nowdays and will get worse. Same problem most businesses have. Money. By law, the Postal Service cannot have a profit or a loss. When they have losses, they generally raise rates, knowing that rate incrases decreases business. They also look for other ways to cut costs, like eliminating Saturday delivery. Oh, I don't remember the exact numbers but for every penny increase in gasoline prices the Postal Service spends an extra $24,000/day, $7mil/yr. They have a fleet of 800,000 vehicles. It used to be that service was their job one; but the economics of business has killed that. Now, they have a lot more latitude at cutting costs to make ends meet. So, again, expect service to get worse overall.

    Silicone mold recommendations for tarts

    My bad... I guess I should have read more clearly.

    http://www.vanyulay.com has some really cute embed type molds that can be used as bagged tarts.

    Oversoyed - we already do the standard tarts, looking specifically for bakery lines such as cinni buns, donuts and particularly tart shells, but trying to keep everything to a 1 oz tart, which is the issue as not all of the sites have the finished weight on all of their mold descriptions.

    Cheers
