I actually think it is an example of the government doing something right. If you need to run a domestic delivery operation as a service to citizens, find a way to do it profitably.
As long as the government is not subsidizing their international operations, and they are competing on the open market, why should anyone care.
It's a little different. It'd be like if USPS were privatized and then created another subsidiary that operates in other countries.
I get your meaning though; if you can ensure nationwide coverage and cheap mail delivery then there's nothing wrong with a private, utility-like courier service, though UPS and FEDEX (and DHL, for that matter) might have something to say about it.
DHL is Germany's version of the USPS, and they make a shit ton of money
