This is a great idea. It’s past time to start thinking out of the box. Speaking of which, I'm surprised that the Postal Service doesn't consider lowering its rates.

I'm surprised that the Postal Service doesn't consider lowering its rates. The Postal Service's rates are already substantially less than UPS or FedEX.

Well, for first class mail, it probably wouldn't persuade you to send an extra letter to Aunt Tilly, or to drop your on-line bill pay. Sometimes, when the demand curve goes down due to forces unrelated to the business (obsolescence, due to Internet), prices have to go up for the relatively inelastic part of the curve. The USPS has to ask "Mother may I?" for First Class Mail, so everything else goes up more.
