USPS delivers in 3 days for about $2

This sounded much lower than anything I've paid recently. I just tried pricing this on the USPS website and got $3.94.

Arguably a bargain, but considerably more than $2.

Separately, I disagree with your implication that the USPS has an obligation to deliver to your house. Do you know what the exact law or statute is?

I'm familiar with several places where this is not true, where Fedex and UPS will deliver to the door but USPS will not. Some of these are very rural ranches in the Southwest, but others are just small towns that do not offer delivery services and instead hold all mail at the post office.
