Of course the post office is inefficient
That's why postal prices keep increasing. Their workforce is overpaid, that's why costs are so high, but I guess it is easier to blame your customers.

If customers are causing an increase in costs, then you need to streamline your operations or provide guidance (give NetFlix recommendations on how to avoid the issue at hand).

Of course, Congress should stop subsidizing the post office and allow competition (In 2005 the govt gave $500 million of your money to the post office. http://www.usps.com/history/anrpt05/)
