Sadly, only because the American tax payer is subsidizing USPS to operate. Last year, $16 Billion Loss

The only way I can see this working is if everyone drops there prices when they sell me a radio

If the USPS can't turn a profit off what they do, they're retards. Just close a bunch of offices, eliminate Saturday delivery, and maybe bump up prices a little.

Also gotta wonder what their wages are, compared to UPS/FedEx. Probably still have a huge union membership.
