Also you need to take into account they're also sucking up tax dollars just to keep operating...
Depending on the package size.. and if you're sending within your Country. It's pretty cheap to send a package with a scan card through usps or candian post, with a tracking number, for just a few bucks total.

If you need to send something big or to another Country, yes another service is probably cheaper.

They don't use tax dollars to operate, they fund themselves through stamps and are given a budget on the amount spent/earned the year before. They are in the green overall.
