Also, there are plenty of people without easy access to a location for those companies, and they aren't going to build in places it isn't profitable.
Mail services like this was seen as a public good, and that is why the federal government took it on. If we rid ourselves of a public mail service, we just have to reevaluate the need for equal access to mail services in today's society.
If you have a phone or internet you can mail something with at least one of those non usps options.
You can just say you want the government handling the shipping and mail. Most of us are ready to let the market take over. Maybe more open up.
