United States Postal Service---I believe is not owned by a private party,but is government owned and run. We still have Saturday service here. Tom

Sooner or later fed money bails them out, but through smoke and mirrors, it appears to be a quasi-private company. They make "deals" with companies at below what you or I pay walking into the post office. Back 15 years ago, they had better health insurance packages than most "other" feds say through Blue Cross/Blue Shield, with at least their part of the premiums. Very seldom do you see a 60-year old postal worker, at least around here.

Im sure it's gubmint owned and private contractors bid on delivery positions. In Florida they even deliver packages on Sunday but not mail. That may have just been during the Christas season too. Google "how much did the USPS lose last year" and you will find out who owns and finances it.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Government run and competing against private businesses. The government always spends $2 to do what private industry can do for $1. Postal rates may be cheaper but you're paying taxes to cover the extra costs every time the post office outspends it budget. I ship a couple thousand packages a year by USPS because I get better rates than the others but that means your taxes are paying my business' shipping costs. Not really fair.
Shut it down.

So many useless rules they lose money at every turn, I see a lg flat rate box is $25 the smaller boxes must be $8 by now. I used them a lot in the past but between poor service when you have a problem and ever rising cost I avoid them when possible.
