We need to privatize our postal services?
With privatization, we probably could shipp all 10 pound packages for $4.84
I thought they had privatized the USPS a few years ago. Well, maybe not exactly "private" enterprise, but it has some sort of separation from the main part of "Government".
Media Mail is generally cheaper than UPS. However, it is not traceable, and is considerably slower. Keep in mind that the USPS will subsidize some rates and penalize others. Media Mail has to be kept low for things like books for the blind, etc.
