In interest of putting things in perspective I've found couple of sources comparing USPS and other national post carriers. Report by Universal Postal Union from 2020 [0] and an old (1996) report from GAO about post system reforms undertaken world wide.[1] Especially the UPU report is ... surprising. I never would have guessed about some of the rankings. But it appears to be well researched, and methodology section seems sound.
