Canada post is a lot more popular than what i hear about usps. I’d say most packages that aren’t Amazon (like 30% of amazon too) go through canpost, until now at least it’s usually the cheaper option, and at least in my area much less likely to damage a parcel. They also have more locations. In my town of 600k there is 1 FedEx package pickup with no transit options or bike lanes, but canpost is in every other drugstore.
I’m in the US, but I suspect mail is fairly the same across North 'Murica. (The government would handle super-remote locations still?)
The only mail I get are either bills or trash. Packages usually don’t ship via USPS. I rarely, if ever, send anything.
I wouldn’t cry at all if it cost me $5 to send a letter every two or three years.
