Not them, but maybe UPS or some big online retailers like scamazon. By the way, DHL announced the other day that they are pulling out of domestic shipping.

The USPS is saying that the job cuts won't impact service. The only way that can be true is if shipping volume is way down.

It seems like in either a inflationary or deflationary bust shorting retailers would be a good bet, because consumer confidence is going to suck either way. Or maybe the retailers get a spike and people rush to spend falling dollars? But that seems very temporary. Hard to make money in the retail business when your shelves are empty.
