Like everything else if you don't like the price don't buy the service.

Supposed what other delivery service will send you chicks? USPS is the only source that would do the job other than meeting in person, "across the country" chicken tag.

Actually, it often isn't the USPS doing the deliveries anyway, or not all the portions of them. Often Fedex is doing part of it, as the USPS contracts them to fly the birds, when they need flying places.

So it's not all USPS doing the work, fwiw.

I think what we're asking for is clarification as to what this service will entail. That's not being given to us.

Do you work for the USPS?

And don't get me wrong, I adore my local USPS folks, I count them among my very best friends. They get quite upset when a box of my chicks goes astray (or other items I ship) and go out of their way to help me when I need it. But they don't make these decisions, obviously, and often are very negatively affected by such decisions made at the upper levels.

No that wasn't what I was asking.
And I don't or ever have I worked for the postal service. Is it that the postal service is paying out to much in claims for damaged chicks and think the claims would go down with priority shipping ? If they're losing money they may just stop doing it. The reason no other companies will ship them is because it's not profitable.

Chicks are required to be shipped via Priority Mail now as it is. So there's no change there.
