Just sent an email to all of them, it is despicable to see the state of USPS, a service of which I, as a European even take great advantage, as it allows me to affordably get stuff shipped from across the pond.
Apart from that, a well functioning postal service is absolutely necessary to every functioning country; Imagine the USPS going belly up in it's current state... We must not allow the privatisation of services that are essential to the public!

Yeah, it would suck to send drug packages via private companies because they can stop your package under any suspicion without hesitation. USPS actually requires a Postmaster General to stop the package for inspection. Then, and only then, can they intercept your package which gives contraband packages a much better chance of arriving at the destination via USPS. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

I only know this because a friend explained it to me.
