I'm starting to wonder too. I'd always been under the impression that the USPS was trying to compete with FedEx and UPS as a worlwide parcel carrier, but some cursory investigation reveals no real evidence of this. Apparently USPS subcontracts their European deliveries to a company over there.

In the UK have you ever seen an advertisement for any delivery services from USPS?
