Jean Paul,
going to US post office before the 2001. was no special event and shipping something nationally or internationally was not a big difference. After 9.11 that has dramatically changed, and now if something to be shipped internationally is the major pain, I have to agree with Michael. You have to fill paperwork that is often not available with other forms, and in addition you have to know what you are looking for, which require waiting in the line first to ask what do you need, than filling the long form, than waiting in the line again to submit... Going to UPS or FedEx that waits with free packaging and all the forms you would need is much easier and faster with emphasis on faster. For people that are working full time every day, the only time they could go to the office than is ether lunch break or Saturday, which means giving up on lunch or waisting your weekend. The same stands for going to the bank where these days you normally do not go at all. Last time I was in the bank was most likely a year ago. That is why paypal is so popular. |
