@nytpu i thought you were taking a jab at USPS for having a legally mandated monopoly on mailboxes. Now i'm not sure what you were trying to convey.

@resist1984 Just a dumb pun. And at least USPS is required to deliver to all residences so rural people can be guaranteed to get mail service which probably wouldn't happen with private couriers (as shown with ISPs, where it's expensive to install in rural places so they don't do it)

@nytpu i try to only use USPS for that reason, and because #UPS and #FedEx are both right-wing #ALEC supporting members. If a merchant does not specify how they ship, i always put a note on the order "USPS only", and it works.
