Package delivery is the future of the USPS. Its prices are cheaper, delivery times the same, and new features like free tracking and insurance make it even more competitive.
Not to mention free pickup [UPS charges $12]. In the one area where the USPS is doing very well and competing hard, you choose to criticize it. No pleasing some people, I guess.
i still don't quite know how that works, do they contract with them or what?
