US postage is an incredible deal. Imagine you can send an envelope cross country for 50 cents.
Yes, I understand that it was a better deal at 23 cents and 27 cents and 34 cents and 45 cents.
Part of the ability to execute that service with very small numbers of service failures is the ability to make those deliveries at “loose” times during the day.
Part of that ability is, sometimes you get a piece of mail from 2000 miles away in 2 days, sometimes 3 days sometimes 4 days.
The USPS doesn’t have to keep the mail heated nor cooled.
US postage for package sized parcels is distinctly not as good a deal, in fact it has become pretty expensive of late.
So to think that a meal, that needs to be kept upright in most cases, that needs to be delivered within certain time constraints and controlled in temperature, that may not be packaged in sub-containers that can withstand the G-forces involved in general package handling...at reasonable cost....
is wrong.

I’ve expressed that sentiment here before and have been criticized. Surprised that you weren’t.
It’s a bargain.
