Apart from the USA, do any other countries use ounces for their postal
system.  The UK has been using metric units since the 1970's

Subject: [USMA:43989] postage in grams


                                        2009 March 18
On 2009 March 13 I asked the US Postal Service:
        Where can I find postage rates in grams?
        When will postage rates be in grams?

 From [email protected]
Steven S of USPS answered:
        postage pricing is determined by ounces. We do not have
        any plans of changing the pricing system to grams.

I then asked:
        why USPS does not comply with Executive Order 12770 and
        the Metric Conversion Act of 1975?

Steven S of USPS then replied:
        we do not have any information pertaining to compliance
        with Executive Order 12770 or Metric Conversion Act of 1975.


He then said
        You are welcome to contact your Post Office for any
        additional Information. Based on your zIP Code of 80303,
        the contact information for your Post Office is:
                FLAT IRONS ANNEX
                1800 38TH ST
                BOULDER CO 80301

Can any of you tell me how to proceed?
                        Robert Bushnell
