USPS delivered mail is neither a right or a constitutionally mandated service.

Uh. What?

Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

[...]

To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

There are people who just read past the parts they don’t like int he Constitution. Obama does it, and DB does it , and a bunch of others do too.

Just because the USPS is Constitutionally authorized doesn’t mean it’s Constitutionally mandated. Read it again.

First, I didn’t know that postal service was specifically in the constitution... So that was my ignorance/error...

Second, I didn’t “read past what I didn’t like in the constitution”, see “First”.

Third, from what was posted the United States Government was given the power to to establish Post Offices but that does not provide a mandate that it must nor is it an individual right that the government is required to provide. It simply gives them the authority to do so. Continue to correct me if I’m wrong.

So please explain how that passage in the constitution either establishes postal service as a right or mandated service.
