The dirty little secret about UPS and FedEx is they charge you extra to give it to the Post Office to deliver. They make money off of you when you don’t use USPS.
I am still doing bookkeeping for 2 clients. I receive their data by USPS & sometimes Fed Ex, but I have to MAIL it back priority since I live rural. I take the completed data to the post office & MAIL it to them. Taking it to Fed Ex is about 31 miles further than my post office——ONE WAY.
Many rural people rely on their mail being delivered. People who are not real mobile also depend on those deliveries.
I refuse to pay any bills online. I get my bills in the mail, attach receipts to my Credit card statements, and write out checks once a month when my Soc Sec comes in. I use cash whenever I can.
I refuse to let Big Brother destroy my privacy about some things. It is nobody’s business what I buy with cash.
FedEx carries much of the mail now, anyway. Big contract. UPS lost it a few years ago.
If you get something that was picked up by the USPS, and delivered by the USPS, it likely flew on a FedEx plane, if the distance was great.
If you get something in the mail that started with FedEx, it’s cheaper than having FedEx deliver it the “last mile”.
