But it's the mail. It simply arrives. If I am in some other country, I pay postage in that country, then that country gives it to USPS and says "your turn now". Are they going to send it back? Surely there can be negotiations between the two countries about how to split that cost paid overseas, but at the end of the day the mail comes in, what are we going to do, not deliver?

If domestic mail is too expensive maybe let's address that.

Accept it in harbor, send a new notification that it can be fetched after paying a processing fee (which includes the price of three previous notification).

It's not like that isn't already done all over the place.

It's not like that would happen often. They'd quickly adapt and start charging more for sending, making it a non-issue most of the time
