Or what they're typing their responses on.

Grumble...

Or being union, and assembling a bunch of parts, all made anywhere else but the USA? Is that hypocracy?

Before I retired, I owned an antenna company and about 1/3 of my customers were outside the USA.

The price of one of my products was 6 USD + postage and most offshore customers would send me IRCs to cover the postage.

As a member of the U.N. we are also a member of the Universal Postal Union which sets the international postal rates.

I assume you are commenting on MY post - I didn't say one single word about taxpayer funds....

More likely, a comment on Harvey51's post. No taxpayer funds were mentioned anyway. USPS is still a govt company though.

Postal mutual agreements are murky waters, hard to tell who is paying who. The bottom line is, - this agreement allows unknown guy in China to still have sales income included in $2.57. Not necessarily "profit". Could be no profit, - here is btw, another possible answer to "How do they do it". Somebody in China might be liquidating unsold merchandize. Though I tend to think there is still a profit, for the previously stated reasons.

I assume you are commenting on MY post - I didn't say one single word about taxpayer funds.... that said, you are ALMOST correct.

The USPS does not receive any taxpayer funds. They raise their own revenues.

I believe our postal service has an agreement with China to deliver packages here at rates set by the Chinese postal service. Our government is subsidizing the Chinese businesses.

In the USA there are similar agreements in place with virtually every country - including China. The agreement covers costs to send TO China as well as FROM China.

This is not a subsidy, it is a required agreement. It is similar in need to a Status of Forces agreement OR a Diplomatic Immunity Agreement.

Without these agreements there would be chaos.

I guess this is entertaining
BUT the Topic is Definitely wandering all over the place
