As a small business owner, my livelihood is interconnected with the functionality and reliability of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Over the years, I've experienced significant financial losses, possibly running into thousands of dollars, due to their service shortcomings. My products have been lost, they've been destroyed, they've mysteriously disappeared or have been delivered to the wrong address. Some parcels have stopped tracking without explanation. This is not just a personal crisis; this is a flagrant breach of trust and duty by USPS.

The USPS is mandated to provide an efficient and reliable service to the American public. This mandate is enshrined within the United States Code, Title 39, which defines the USPS's primary obligation. These losses are not merely a financial burden; they denote a blatant deviation from USPS's mandatory responsibilities.

According to official reports, in 2020 alone, the USPS had over 1.37 million inquiries about lost packages, marking an increase of almost 50% from the previous year (Office of Inspector General, USPS, 2020). This starkly underscores not just the prevalence of the issue, but the growing magnitude of it.

The negligence and dishonest practices of USPS not only affect small businesses, but they also undermine public trust in a critical national service. By seeking legal redress, we can hold the USPS accountable for their actions and thus protect the interests of countless small businesses and consumers across the country.

Let's raise our voices to oppose fraud, negligence, breach of duties, theft, and deception. Please sign this petition to demand accountability from the United States Postal Service.
