![]() ![]() And the misguided judgment from this author will remain the same even if Trump understands the inner workings of the USPS and merely tweeted his remark to play the "tough guy" against Bezos. So, to make things clear: Trump's remarks about the USPS losing money exclusively to Jeff Bezos' digital empire are entirely misguided for a variety of reasons. Discount agreements like these are reached quite regularly, proving that it is a common practice. These discounts are determined by excessive haggling between the USPS and individual companies on the basis of many different factors that include corporate size, the amount of shipping a firm will do, etc. The process of having special rates for one particular company is known as establishing a workshare discount. With this, you can expect a company like Amazon to receive lower rates due to the millions of packages they ship each year in the U.S alone. Trump's remarks about the USPS losing money exclusively to Jeff Bezos' digital empire are entirely misguided. Industry analysis has even declared that Amazon's overall shipping costs are less when they use postage circulation. The only upside to Trump's remarks, however, is that they are only half true.Īmazon as a company is considered to be one of the largest customers for USPS. “Should be charging MUCH MORE!” Is It True? “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” Trump tweeted. He alleged that, due to the low shipping rates that firms like Amazon receive, USPS is in dire straits financially and that rates should be increased to remedy the loss. This past Friday, Trump sent off the old year with a series of Twitter tirades that indicted retail e-commerce giant Amazon for taking advantage of lower shipping rates through the U.S. All I can think is "yuck." However, he seems to hate Amazon more for using the only postal delivery system in the United States. The long lines, the snooty clerks, and the awful smelling buildings. ![]() President Donald Trump really hates the Post Office, it appears. ![]()
