Why is any shipper subsidized?

I would think,in Amazon's case. because of its volume of use.

Hmmmm....losing money on every package,
but
the post office will make it up on volume.

Must be the new math.

That works for manufacturers, economy of scale. The USPS I highly doubt, the more they ship the more they lose in all probability.

Having said that, I probably receive more packages with Amazon Contract “White Panel Van” Delivery Service than the USPS now.

Yeah, Amazon convinced the Post Office that they would make it up on volume. ;-)

My first thought. Probably applies to walmart and other large volume shippers.

From what I’ve read, the Post Iffice actually loses money shipping Amazon’s parcels.
