They are massively overpriced and antiquated in structure. Their failures are why Amazon exploded and collapsed brick and mortar retail. A lot of small businesses are not viable because of them.

How does mail being problematic make people want to order more things by mail?

"Mail so janky I don't even want to go to the store no more!"

They reported a loss of 9 billion last year and 9.5 billion in ‘24. The agreement with Amazon is deteriorating. They are expected to deliver mail 6 days a week on time with no money now.

Huh. Must be why Amazon uses the USPS to pop small packages in my mailbox occasionally.

It's a public service, it's not supposed to be motivated by profit.

By "reported a loss" I think you mean, "the public service cost"

The "lost" revenue is because they are forced to pay for future employees who wont be born in the next 30 years.

Well yes, except when Amazon is using them to save on costs, that's just robbing taxpayers.

I have a regular order for a box of wet cat food from Amazon. Sometimes Amazon shipments come through the United States postal service and whenever that happens I get a note on my mailbox saying that my mailbox is full and they couldn't deliver the cat food.

There is a box next to the mailbox for deliveries that none of the other delivery drivers seem to have difficulty finding but USPS has never, not once not ever, put the cat food into that box. They just put a note saying I need to go to the post office to pick it up.

I've gone to the post office with pictures to ask them why they don't put it in the box and they say they're only supposed to put it in the mailbox, but a mailbox that could accommodate the box of cat food would not be a regulation mailbox.

So it really does come down to the whims of whoever you're working with.
