UPS and Fed Ex deliver a better product and service than the USPS and do so without being subsidized by my tax dollars. But the real point is that EA is getting hammered in public relations because of ME3 and Origin. What else have they done that would irritate people so much?
I have always had more trouble with Fed Ex and UPS, and they're cost a lot more money. I always use USPS when using my Ebay auctions. The USPS is also one of the few Federal agencies that run off their own income, and would have had a surplas in the past few years if Republicans had not introduced a bill that required the USPS to pay into their retirement fund for the next 50 years in a 10 year period in it's entirety. The intent is, obviously, to have Fed Ex or UPS fill the gap... 10 dollars to mail a letter, hooray.
There are other issues as well, that the USPS will go into areas where it isn't as or not at all profitable because they are there to serve the citizens of the United States, whereas if UPS or Fed Ex took over they would abandon those areas entirely as they simply focus on profit.
But anyway... back to ME3, are you all dreading or excited about PAX? I'm mostly dreading it at this point...
