That’s not a good plan... Both FDX and UPS outsource a lot of “last mile” delivery to the USPS because it’s so expensive for them to deliver to resi addresses. Alternately the USPS uses both FDX and UPS for air, TL and rail transport of packages and mail. It’s a pretty good symbiotic relationship.

I agree........for the most part, the only mail I now receive are local fliers, all the important mail stuff such as utility bills, mortgage and vehicle payments I now receive via email. And those payments are now via auto-pay so the only correspondence I receive from those sources are notifications that they received my payments.........

In defense of the USPS, the internet has effectively taken away the vast majority of their business......
