They are legally required to charge more than the USPS. Even if they could charge less they couldn't legally do it. When a private company was allowed to compete it drove the price of stamps down until it was outlawed.

- kube-system 5y agoYes, when the rates at the post office were ~16x higher than they are now, adjusted for inflation, it was possible for a private company to compete. But, the USPS doesn't charge $9.12 to send a letter from Boston to DC anymore.
