For a specific question about a single point? Yes.

For a nuanced answer, all providers are required. USPS and FedEx both serve meaningful markets.



Actually, a single point can prove you wrong but a lot of data is needed to prove you right. The reply mostly agreed with you, they said 4/5 was cheaper but 1/5 wasn't. Your statement implies 5/5 is cheaper, the other poster is the one that only needs one data point.

> USPS and FedEx both serve meaningful markets.

You from two replies ago would be shocked to hear that.


> The reply mostly agreed with you, they said 4/5 was cheaper but 1/5 wasn't

One clarification: The other 4/5 is split between UPS and USPS.

I’m fortunate to have drop boxes and shipping centers for all 3 providers near my house or on the way to the gym.
