  • Engaging Member Countries Involved in the Global Inventory
    Introduction December 2009 Dear Journalist, The following press kit is designed to help you better understand the global postal sector, its major players and its environmental activities. The sector is a major industry, employing more than 5 million people and operating thousands of buildings and vehicles around the world.

  • College Students and Credit Card Use in the Twenty-First Century
    College Students and Credit Card Use in the Twenty-first Century A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Zhong-Wen Li March 2011 © 2011 Zhong-Wen Li. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled College Students and Credit Card Use in the Twenty-first Century by ZHONG-WEN LI has been approved for the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the College of Arts and Sciences by Deborah Thorne Associate Professor of Sociology Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT LI, ZHONG-WEN, M.A., March 2011, Sociology College Students and Credit Card Use in the Twenty-first Century (75 pp.) Director of Thesis: Deborah Thorne The issue of college credit card use has been studied in the United States for decades. This work explores the differences of credit card use between American and Taiwanese college students sampled at Ohio University and National Hsinchu University of Education in Taiwan. Based on sociological theories and Chinese culture, three variables—stigma of debt, fear of financial risks, and distrust of banks—are proposed to explain different credit card use results from culture. The connection between attitudes toward credit cards and five variables, which are credit card ownership, stigma of debt, fear of financial risks, distrust of banks, and parents‘ suggestions about credit card risks, were tested. The findings suggest that cultural factors—stigma of debt, distrust of banks, and fear of financial risks— and structural/institutional factors—credit card law, financial support from family members, and access to credit cards on campus—contribute to American and Taiwanese college students‘ different attitudes toward credit cards.

PUB TYPE Reference Materials - Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Annotated Bibliographies; *Archives; History; *Information Sources; *Library Collections; Museums; *Resource Materials; Special Libraries IDENTIFIERS *Postage Stamps; Postal Service; *Smithsonian Institution ABSTRACT Local mail posts were private enterprises that operated mainly in cities circa 1840-1861. Locals provided services the United States Post Office Department (USPOD) did not offer. Some locals operated in association with the USPOD. In addition, some locals offered services that overlapped those offered by other independent mail carriers and express companies. Many locals issued their own stamps. Stamp collectors have conducted intensive research to identify local stamps and their origins, partly to separate genuine from faked stamps. This bibliography is presented to promote the study of locals in the National Postal Museum Branch of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. Sources are presented under the following categories: books; journal articles; special publications; auction catalogs; stamp catalog; and indexes.(AEF) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Postcom News Archives January 2018 National News
    PostCom News Archives January 2018 National News January 28 Bloomberg: Amazon.com Inc. is expanding a service launched to make more groceries, cleaning supplies and other products available for quick delivery directly from merchants without overwhelming the e-commerce giant’s warehouses with additional inventory, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg. The trial pushes Amazon’s logistical reach beyond its own facilities and into those of its merchants, encroaching on services of long-time delivery partners United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp. Amazon is enticing the sellers who use the company’s online marketplace with lower delivery costs, logistics software, warehouse inspections and recommendations. Amazon will oversee pickup of packages from warehouses of third-party merchants selling goods on Amazon.com and the delivery to customers’ homes, work that is now often handled by UPS and FedEx. Amazon could still use these couriers for delivery, but the company will decide how a package is sent instead of leaving it up to the seller. Handling more deliveries itself would give Seattle-based Amazon greater flexibility and control over the last mile to shoppers’ doorsteps, let it save money through volume discounts and help avoid congestion in its warehouses by keeping merchandise in the outside sellers’ own facilities. Amazon is recruiting more sellers and has changed the name to FBA Onsite, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg, associating the program with its popular logistics service Fulfillment By Amazon that launched in 2006. January 27 PostalNews: Millions of Americans utilize USPS on a daily basis, yet the public desire for a Postal Service that serves the common good is trumped by the financial wealth and political power of relatively few owners of large corporations that utilize the Postal Service for advertising purposes.

  • Principles of Eu Postal Regulation and Implications for the Future
    PRINCIPLES OF EU POSTAL REGULATION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE UPS 9 JUNE 2020 AUTHORS Anna Möller Boivie Bruno Basalisco Henrik Ballebye Okholm Mindaugas Cerpickis Stephanie Tizik PREFACE The European postal regulatory framework dates back to the early 1990s and the Green paper on the development of a single market for postal services. This document laid the foundation for the development of the first Postal Services Directive in the European Union (EU) entering into force in 1997. It was later updated by means of a second and a third Postal Services Directive in 2002 and 2008, respectively. Thus, more than ten years have now passed since the adoption of the current regulatory framework – and postal and delivery markets throughout the EU have developed signifi- cantly since then. In March 2020, the European Commission published an evaluation roadmap, outlining the context, purpose and scope of its evaluation of the existing Postal Services Directive. In time for this process, UPS has asked Copenhagen Economics to investigate whether the current market reality warrants more sector-specific regulation on top of the existing EU postal regulatory framework. More specifi- cally, we have been asked to analyse evidence relevant for policymakers’ decision on whether there is a need for additional regulation of the delivery of e-commerce packets and parcels – regulation which would be on top of the provisions already included in the existing Postal Services Directive and other, complementary, regulatory frameworks. The report is structured as follows: In chapter 1, we provide a brief overview of the background for the report and our assignment.
