Note that the program described there, ePacket, is now profitable for the USPS. It took them a few years to scale up but it's been profitable for years now.

https://www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/document-library... estimates $74 million profit for 2016 using internal data.

https://www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/document-library... says they were profitable in 2015. See page 8 and footnote 17.

As far as I can tell, there's been no other public info released since then.
