Postal Services Being Replaced by Email Faster Than Anticipated: USPS on The Brink of Extinction

Despite the fact that emails took over the personal and organizational communication globally since 1995, from the normal post. USPS (The United States Postal Services) continued to exist and still exist today. You cannot completely finish something. Still there are some flaws with email systems and there are certain industries which rely on sending print media by post rather than sending you an email, which can either be overlooked or filtered by your email software or thrown into trash.

If you just have a look at the damage done to USPS by courier services such as FedEx, UPS, and DHL and their counterparts in other countries, it is simply huge. Even though email is a popular media for corporate and personal communication and it is a very important part of some of the businesses of online giants such as Yahoo, Google, MSN and Twitter, some of the people exaggerate the threat to email by social media. But these perceptions are as baseless as the prediction of the demise of USPS.

Email is here to stay for quite some time. According to surveys, people are still of the view that their use of email is going to increase manifolds in the next few years. “With the rise of e-mail and the decline of letters, mail volume is falling at a staggering rate, and the postal service’s survival plan isn’t reassuring,” Devin Leonard says in the Bloomberg BusinessWeek report. Last year USPS’s revenues were $67 billion and that were even greater their expenses.

So already there are people in media, who are ready to write the obituary of USPS. We have to see how long can it survive.
