Govt agency, privately funded...according to the USPS they do not get one cent of government funding.
This is correct but the post office was able to get legislation that gives them a distinct advantage on pricing when it comes to mailing packages that weigh 2 lbs or less. UPS would love to get into handling lighter weighting packages but government regulations force UPS to charge more while protecting the post office. (It's amazing what one can learn when one gets UPS drivers and supervisors as well as post office employees talking in your cafe 8) )
