USPS is good for last-mile delivery, especially outside cities, because they are legally mandated to serve every address.
But the USPS also contracts with UPS and Fedex for backhaul capacity. It's not unusual for a UPS truck to pull up to a Post Office and drop off a bunch of mail, which is then delivered to the address by the postal carrier.
