It is great that we have other options like the UPS and FedEx etc. but I have not really used any of these options yet to send a package or any mail since it is incredibly pricey.
I am actually waiting for a letter which my dad who lives in Canada has send and I need it very fast, but UPS was going to charge $150 for the small 1 page letter, while the post office charges only like $1.00, so that is the only option I had and now I am just waiting, but have no idea how long it will take.
Hopefully the cost is not this crazy for the business owners, since I don't think it would work for them either.
