Why is US postage the same for 2 miles and 2000 miles?
In: 12
Because they aren’t taking it directly from your house to the destination. They’re taking it from your house, to the local post office where it gets sorted, from there it’s determined if it gets sent out to the destination, or goes to a distribution center so it will go to the post office that does deliver to it’s destination.
So, postage isn’t really paying for moving the letter that distance, it’s for maintaining flow of mail thar will happen whether or not you send that specific letter, and if anything it would take more effort and money to confirm that the correct postage was provided for 2 miles VS 2000 miles rather than just charge the same flat rate for the same letter going to each destination.
