Rather than finding a solution to processing the awkward-sized packages, the Postal Service under the helm of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy appears to have taken a more “corporate” approach to the problem – raise rates to the point of making them unprofitable for many shippers, thus reducing the number of them entering the mail stream.
RAISE THE HUE AND CRY MOVIE
One small seller who sold movie posters on eBay surmised it signified a change in the USPS sorting processes, telling EcommerceBytes in July the USPS had become “constantly unreliable in delivering tubes on time or without incredible delays.”Īnother merchant who sells movie posters on eBay and runs the multi-million-dollar business told EcommerceBytes last year he was also seeing delays as well as a tenfold increase in damage to his posters shipped via USPS. In 2021, online sellers began reporting significant problems with mailing tubes shipped via USPS. The move shows a new approach the USPS is taking that has broader implications for the shipping industry. It should be no surprise then that the outcomes are not always going to please everyone.In a small corner of the ecommerce world, some sellers have been sounding the alarm over the USPS decision to price mailing tubes and other long packages out of the market. The 20-year-old has now equipped critics of the system with a handy example of how it can all be exploited by a player suddenly presented with an option he did not originally enjoy but the issue of identity is clearly complex and the rules have been drawn up at least in part to exploit that fact. O’Neill, for his part, clearly wanted Rice to play for him but also gave the impression that he was at least uncomfortable with the way things have gone. That must surely rankle with an Irish-born player who plays in the same position but what is a manager to do? A few, though, sound unsure from the outset. Many are clearly committed while a good many more at least talk a good game when, as is the tradition, they are asked by the press about their connections after the first squad training session in which they participate. Around 40 per cent of the players Martin O'Neill capped in the last World Cup qualifying campaign were British (not including Northern Ireland) born and Ciaran Clark captained various England underage sides before opting to change his allegiance. If he makes it through to the senior ranks he might seem a little exotic but he will not be so terribly out of place. “He’s played for all three countries, but the best experience he had was with Ireland,” explained his mother. A couple of weeks ago Ryan Johansson, a promising teenager at Bayern Munich who also qualifies for Luxembourg (where he was born) and Sweden declared for Ireland which he was able to do by virtue of his maternal grandparents. There is clearly a cynicism about it all but the association here is only doing what most of its rivals also do and managers must play the game in order to ensure that they get the strongest team possible out on the pitch. Had Rice gone the same way nobody would have given him a second thought. Many, like Rice, are approached at an early age, quite a few accept the invitation and after a couple of caps a fair proportion are never heard of again.
Since then, the FAI has developed a network of scouts whose main aim is to spot players who are eligible to declare for Ireland. Things were certainly more simple through the first few decades after 1922 when only players born on the island represented the Republic of Ireland but nobody is seriously suggesting that we get back to that (are they?) and the world is a rather more complicated place than it was in 1965 when Shay Brennan made his debut. Unless you can say, hand on heart, that you would rather lose with a team whose motives are beyond question you are going to sit at least a little uneasy on a high horse.Īnd even then, how would you start to police it?ĭeclan Rice in action for the Repubic of Ireland in a friendly against the USA at the Aviva Stadium.
English sniping about the FAI standing for "Find An Irishman," always rang a little hollow and now seems completely laughable given their own recruitment policies across the codes but that is modern day sport for you.
