USPS OIG Audit: Homeless People Living In
Unsecured Postal Equipment (PDF) -
"The
San Francisco P & DC is leasing an unsecured parking lot near the
facility and improperly storing Postal Service owned and leased
trailers and mail transport equipment in the lot, thereby placing
these assets at an increased risk of loss. Postal Employees "indicated
transient or homeless people were using the lot, sleeping in Postal
Service trailers, and using Postal Service equipment to improve
their encampments. We concluded the unsecured conditions diminished
the Postal Service's image, reputation and brand; presented a danger
to public safety and security."

Battle Of the Brands
The largest player in the U.S. overnight package delivery business
is attempting to increase its market share in the fast-delivery
business next month. USPS is barely holding on to its 32% market
share in the business, as FedEx and UPS continue to push the envelope
at 31% and 25% market share, respectively. For the first time, shippers
using Express Mail, Priority Mail, and several other parcel services
will be able to get lower rates for large- and medium-volume contracts,
according to the agency. Will UPS and FedEx need to cut their prices
further to compete with the USPS?
