“Watch out Versace and Chanel. Next year the US Postal Service plans to start selling its own clothing range, based on its uniforms. There was a time when your local post office would mainly sell stamps and deliver letters. No longer. According to the Universal Postal Union (UPU), global letter- and light parcel delivery volumes dropped by 3.7 percent in 2011 from a year earlier, and by 5.1 percent when just counting Europe and the former Soviet Union. USPS tripled its losses in 2012, losing $15.9 billion as the state-owned enterprise faces tough competition and what it calls onerous and unfair retirement funding requirements.”
