Incoming mail

Every day, Monday-Friday Royal Mail delivers between 11am to 1pm.

Every 2 to 3hours, we go to every floor to collect internal and external mail, and take them to the post room. This is where we sort the internal and external mail. Some external mail is already stamped, so we separate it from the mail need franking.

    If I were the current CEO for the United States Postal Service, I would be gravely concerned about the future of my business, as it has recently taken a steep plummet from its success and popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The USPS is now faced with the decision to renovate itself due to the extreme loss of business as technology takes over the 21st Century. Some say that the USPS should be entirely reconstructed because the business is only headed further downhill, while others say that paper mail is still very practical, more so than e-mail, and we must each write more letters to do our part in reviving the business to profitability again. Because the USPS has been such a vital part of our country through its contribution to communication and employment, the organization needs to stay afloat by cutting back on delivery days, strategically rebranching throughout the country, and recapturing the importance of itself through advertising, in order to adapt to the new technology-based era.…

    Since this community is a “coupon-cutting society”, people want to have a good deal to come back to the same place and that's what the USPS should do to increase customer satisfaction. Besides just delivering packages with objects in it, the USPS also sends out cards and mail. In the article “Sending Getting ‘Real’ Mail Still Magic” by Kevin Cullen, he explains how getting a letter in the mailbox is one hundred times better than getting it through email. She shares a personal story by describing having “shoe boxes filled with kind letters sent to [him] through the years by readers...many friendships began that way.” In Cullen’s point of view, a mail sent from the USPS can be kept for…

    Throughout the years, the number of letters and packages are decreasing. According the Source B, the mail volume has decreased drastically from 2000 to 2009, while the number of delivery points has increased. There are less mail but more delivery points, which means mailmen would have mail that are scattered all over the city, causing the efficiency of the services to decrease. Though the mail volume has decreased, there is still a great amount of people who value handwritten letters (Source F) and those people are probably one of the factors that help the USPS stay in business. If they plan out their distributions correctly, their mailmen would be able shorten their route and…

    [D1: Position] The USPS not only mails birthday cards and thank-you notes, they also support local businesses, “Both the Postal Service and the Direct Marketing Association say direct mail is a key source of customers for small businesses,” (Source E). [E1: Quote] Local businesses need to use direct-marketing mail because they do not have the IT structure and the money that considerable bigger businesses have. [D2: Rephrase] According to the graph in Source B, there are more than 600,000 USPS employees to recognize and support for delivering mail and packages to people's houses. [E2: Information from Charts] While writing a letter may not be an action like cooking a meal, the concept is the same; going out of your way to let someone know you are thinking about them. That time taken to write a letter could have be used to complete a task, such as vacuuming, washing the dishes or mowing the grass, but instead that letter shows intention and ambition to lighten the receiver's day. [E3: Imagery] The United States Postal Service should not cut back on delivery days, but alternatively be reconstructed to meet the needs of Americans.[D3:…

    As the world has become so electronic and technology driven, the United States Postal Service has fallen behind. In the 20th century, sending a letter was the norm and people wrote back and forth to friends as “pen pals.” However, the world has changed and now friends can instantly communicate at the touch of a button. This transition to electronically communicating has negatively impacted the United States Postal Service due to the loss of business. Therefore, it is imperative that the USPS reinvents itself as well as adapts to the new technology era for the company to avoid bankruptcy.…
