USPS is mainly only the last-mile delivery for Amazon; Amazon already has many warehouses all around the US.
Also packages continue to grow as revenue for USPS: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2020/0807-usps-reports-third-quarter-fiscal-2020-results.htm https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2020/0807-...
> Meanwhile, Shipping and Packages revenue increased by $2.9 billion, or 53.6 percent, on a volume increase of 708 million pieces, or 49.9 percent, compared to the same quarter last year.
So apparently they're charging a good amount. There's also the Postal Regulatory Commission which has reported that USPS does make money on the contract with Amazon.
It continues to be that the biggest drain on the USPS is the declines in first-class mail and billing mail. Junk mail is also declining.
