If FEDEX or UPS had to stop at every house every day, trust me, the cost would be a hell of a lot higher.
Personally, as an ebay seller, the USPS beats the other 2 for packages under 10 lbs.

Totally agree....
And I've shipped thousands of items....via the USPS.
USPS uses their 1st class mail delivery, with which the post office has a monopoly, to subsidize their parcel division. On a level playing field, USPS could never compete with FedEx or UPS.
USPS does NOT stop at every house in many cities....in our neighborhood, they can unload their mail at one stop by opening the door to the group locked box and dumping the junk mail in every slot, and any other ancillary things that may need delivery.
PS...I do not think we need to disband the USPS...but it does need a new “plan.” Also, your costs sending pkgs MAY be partly why the USPS is losing money...
