5. This could destroy the small business I work for.

I work part time for a small music shop.
We sell instruments(guitars mainly),CD's,vinyl records,accessories,etc.
The records,CD's & cassettes we can ship by Media Mail.Haven't seen too much of a problem with that although it's been a bit slower than usual.We usually ship effects pedals & accessories 1st class & there has been some real problems.Most people don't want to spring for Priority Mail & we can't offer a good price if we have to absorb that.Some customers are complaining about the time it takes for an item to reach them.
FedEx & UPS are not great options because of the cost & they both use the USPS for rural/out of the way areas.
It's put a hurting on us!
