Construction mailbox at my last job got run over. Mail carrier, who had been bypassing the mailbox and delivering at my office, told me she would no longer bring mail until I replaced mailbox.
Replaced mailbox with nice metal commercial box set away from street front up near office. Mail carrier bypasses new mailbox and continues delivering at office.
Mail carrier told me she would no longer bring mail if any vehicles parked under pass-through entry canopy, behind new mailbox, because her mail truck does not have reverse. I let her know my thoughts, highlighting the asphalt drive encircling the campus. Reiterated those thoughts to the supervisor dispatched an hour later.
Also, why can’t a stick a fricking shirt pre paid return to Amazon in the blue box outside instead of waiting in a 30 minute line, listening to the one clerk bitch about being the only one working and going through the full gamete of USPS shipping/insurance/signature/text notifications/how many stamps in a book?

No it would not. Congress can shut it down
It's a specifically-enumerated responsibility in Article I.

In Fiscal Year 2021, the Postal Service had $77.06 billion in revenue and expenses of $81.99 billion with a net loss of $4.93 billion. Yeah. It needs to be abolished. Let the privatized carriers 100% take over.
Those numbers are pretty decent when you take into account that they need to pay a Congressional mandated 5 billion a year into future retirement funding, looking at 75 years into the future. If Congress eliminated or reduced that requirement, they would have shown profitable returns as a business.

They have the power to do it ... not that they "must". Semantics... they can limit or shut it down

Is USPS really that bad?
Here and there it certainly is...
We had a mail carrier a few years back that would just chuck mail in a ditch... Luckily she was caught and actually prosecuted for what she did...
I have literally seen twice someone mail a check to me, call me in a couple of weeks to ask why the check hasn't been deposited to which I reply "haven't seen a check"... They mail a new check and both the old check and new check arrive at my house the same day... That is one of those WTF things when it happens once but it happened twice...
It is a government entity so I expect waste, fraud and abuse from it... I expect the USPS to not be efficient but since it is losing money constantly and is wanting to raise rates constantly it is probably past time to look at a significant restructuring or possibly getting rid of it altogether...

I can see maybe small business owners or people that send a ton of mail hating the service.
You are lucky with a good branch. We should have a good branch, but do not.
I own a shipping store. We have all the carriers here daily. I steer everyone away from the USPS constantly. Packages and envelopes will leave my store, go to the local post office, and get sent to another to get sorted, even the local stuff. The ones that leave the area go to Atlanta which is a whirlpool. Sometimes things never make it out, other times it's huge delays. My theory is similar to the covid one, it took covid to root some folks out of their jobs and now we just have retards running a lot of things and unable to do their jobs.
Amazon contract will break the post office. Amazon is abusing them big time, and the usps has hired on worthless people to try and fill the gaps.
