Every business needs to advertise. USPS does a lot more than just mail letters, though it is difficult to get that message across on a cycling jersey.
If they got $103.6 million in value for their $32M, then how can they say the were defrauded?
(Still in Denny Crane mode here).
USPS prices are *very* competitive for small/light packages, and advertising has nothing to do with that.
But I won't use them for high-value items because their tracking numbers are a joke.
They never update them more than once a day, sometimes only update them *after* delivery, and sometimes don't update them at all.
In contrast, when I ship FedEx or UPS, I can track the exact movement of a pkg from start to finish.
