Haven't tried email?
If there are multiple competing private parcel delivery services, why would the private postage delivery service be a monopoly?
I think written letters and other informational postage is already largely superceded by e-mail and on-line services, and will eventually be 99% superceded by those. There would simply not be the volume of traffic available to support any postage service at present rate and service level. Eventually, what is left of the postal service will literally just be an insured parcel service. Only those things which absolutely requires the delivery of a physical article will need to be sent by non-electronic means, and then what is left of the postal service had better offer something more competitive than Fedex or UPS if it were to have any traffic at all.
I can have my new microphone sets emailed?
No, but you can have it UPSed.
What if I would rather have my Federal postal service do it for me instead?
Is there anyone else other than fed ex or UPS? I dont care much for them.
