And even though people complain about the price of a 1st class stamp (37¢ for those outside the US), I still think that it is pretty amazing that I can put a check in an envelope, stick a stamp on it, drop it in a box and it gets where I need it to. And usually in a very reasonable amount of time.
We trust A LOT of stuff to the USPS and the vast majority of the time they come through with flying colors.
Of course, I live in a town of less than 800 people, but once my cousin sent a letter to "Uncle Tom and Aunt Carol" in Rockford, IA.
No last name, no zip code, and it arrived 4 days after she sent it from Portland, OR.
I do not work for the USPS, but maybe I should. I could still retire at 55 if I started now.

P.S. Now that I think about it, once my 201 File (military personel) file got mailed and all that arrived was the folder, my dental X-Ray, and my insurance paperwork. Luckily I had copies of everything else.
But I'm still more than happy with the USPS.
