1) ok so after I wrote that I did reread it and go well not really NO additional cost, but relatively speaking not a significant additional cost. The big cost is hourly staff driving literally to every address in America 6 days a week.

2) fed ex and ups exist for 2 reasons. Overnight service and being able to call them for pick up service. USPS does not compete for overnight. I could be wrong, but I believe they are regulatorily barred from doing overnight delivery.

3) mail has been unprofitable for a long time. Yes technology plays a role in that from email to targetted mailing instead of mass, but so does their mandate and the union. The mail carriers I knew personally made very good money.

"Guaranteed overnight delivery to most locations or your money back." - USPS.gov

However, I believe the city-to-city transport leg is contracted out to FedEx, just as international anything USPS is sent via common carriers.

I did no such thing. I posted some interesting excerpts from an article. Good job, super-reader.
