The USPS was the only government agency (federal) to turn a profit last year. Some people from within the USPS say that the internet has only helped their sales and the internet doomsayers are only trying to be elitest. eBay, Egghead, YahooAuctions and others have flooded the post office with Priority Mail Packages, more than doubling the volume they were doing before and this is only expected to continue growing as more and more people begin buying online.
As for me personally, I've never had anything lost in Priority Mail and I've bought and sold hundreds of things online. They do have a primitive tracking system which works. When time isn't the main concern, but you need a reliable, cheap way to get it there, the USPS is the only way to go.
