I bet Amazon's lobbying to neuter the USPS through statute and regulation, thus creating a market need through brute force.
Then they can just stand up a personal mail service that "values your privacy" and offers next-day mail delivery using their network of delivery trucks.

- Scoundreller 3y agoI thought Amazon sends a decreasing proportion through USPS every year as they build out their own delivery network, and just leaves the scraps for USPS. Cheap USPS means Amazon's competition, without access to its own mass delivery network, is weakened.
- theGnuMe 3y agoYou could make the same argument about UPS or FedEx but the USPS stands strong. What is interesting is the USPS uses FedEx for express mail (and global express I think).
