The piece argues postal reform has not yet delivered expected service quality as private carriers gain market share. It cites Sen Mathias and Sen Bentson criticizing delays, a 25 percent drop in parcel post damage claims, and a Perryville carload of missing packages as evidence of ongoing issues.

It concludes public demand may push the Postal Service toward self funding amid private competition.
