Maybe.
Senator Tom Carper of Delaware has introduced legislation to make a whole host of changes to the Postal Service, including eliminating Saturday delivery, closing thousands of post offices, and restructuring the retirement fund.
One of the proposed changes is to allow beer and wine to be shipped through the Post Office.
Seems reasonable to me. That’s got to be a pretty good chunk of change that FedEx and UPS are currently monopolizing.
Of course, it’s still not legal to ship beer or wine to all states, and this bill doesn’t address that. More’s the pity.

UPS Doesn’t allow beer or wine to be shipped, at least that’s what they told me when I went to ship a 6 pack as a part of a beer-trade last week.
Mike: Are you literate? Read the article. It’s currently illegal, but Sen Carper has introduced legislation to legalize it.
