UPS nor FedEx will deliver a post card or standard #10 envelope.

True...

But why is that?

Because of a law. I think UPS & FedEX would do a fine job competing in the market with the USPS.

Lysander Spooner ran the American Letter Mail Company for several years (at lower prices than the USPS) in violation of the law.

They’ll deliver. At what cost?

I tried to look up online. USPS took me to 3 or 4 screens before showing that an ounce letters to Andorra, where my uncle the Prince resides would set me back $0.98.

The Fedex site (I didn’t try UPS) took me to a dozen screens before showing me (and I’m still not sure that is correct) that the same letter could cost me $28.85 or more to have delivered.

Do I think that the $0.98 charge is being subsidized by the taxpayers? If it is, then there is something wrong, becauese this is an international rate agreed upon by a multitude of countries. If it isn’t subsidized by the Swiss when they send snail mail to me, it shouldn’t be subsidized by us here.

Sure they will, just put them inside a Fed Ex envelope. I send first class mail all the time by Fed Ex. It costs more but its the true cost of delivery not some subsidized government bull...!
