The U.S. Postal Service, required
to send congressional letters at reduced rates, can’t win regular business from
the federal government, according to an inspector general’s report.
Private-sector competitors led by FedEx Corp.
(FDX) and United
Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) “consistently” have more than 98 percent of the
$337 million annual shipping spending by federal agencies, according to the
Jan. 18 report.
