A local non profit group had a post office refuse their business, because of the volume. they had to get a politician involved, since USPS is the only way they are allowed to ship the gifts to our troops. Over $100,000 a year in postal fees, and were told to go away. By law, they can't ship a box full of stuff to a base. Each package requires a separate customs form to be filled out by hand. UPS and other shippers park an empty semi trailer at the dock of large customers, and haul it directly to the hub. That entire process can be automated.
