The Mail Anatomy
The concept of mail has been around for thousands of years. The first documented use of mail goes all the way back to the pyramids: Ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs used couriers for the transportation of written documents between vast territories. Today, the mail phenomenon is largely the same process, with additional technologies and sophistication here and there. The advent of printing catalyzed a boom for mail, allowing printed documents to be sent and received at an astronomical rate. As technology progressed new avenues have been created whose services have made traditional mail obsolete and saved consumers both time and money in the process.
In such a weak economic climate, the U.S. Postal Service mailing price list leaves a lot to be desired. If you need to send printed material in a timely manner, you should be prepared for your wallet to take a blow. The standard price to send a flat rate envelope in express mail is $17.40. Oh, you want to send it on a Sunday? Be prepared to add another $12.50 to that price, bringing your grand total to nearly thirty dollars. “There must be a better way,” you are saying to yourself. There is.
