It’s not just amazon. It’s e-commerce and really all package rates in general. In the post office every package is massively cheaper than FedEx. On Mercari I can ship a package via USPS for $4.99 that costs $9.99 on UPS.
USPS is just stupid signing all these low price rate deals, and having stupid low pricing.
There is a reason UPS doesn’t compete on rate. Because it’s impossible to do so while maintaining a profitable business!
It is because they are subsidized by the government. Waste of money. Liberals would try to smugly say "Achtually the government doesn't subsidize the USPS." They basically do in a roundabout way. The USPS gets loans from the government, yet they report a loss every single year. How the fuck are you going to pay pack a loan when you aren't making any money? Government giving money to an organization without them paying it back sounds like subsidization to me.
