How does that even work? By private couriers do you mean companies similar to UPS and FedEx? Or private couriers like the bike couriers in US cities? If I needed to mail documents to the other side of the country, for example, could I just drop it off at a storefront or would I have to hire one person to take the envelope the whole length of the journey?

Not even FedEx, you literally hire a guy to deliver an envelope say from Guatemala City to Xela.

The cartels could step in as a national postal carrier. Set postage agreements, and postage rates for garanteed services.
