      It’s rare, but even I still use one like once a year or so. Sometimes you have to mail something thats expidited or needs signature so i send it out at the source. Plus we should always want to keep them, without them that will mean prices will go up for other shipping places because the lowest pricing will be gone. Also rural areas still have to be serviced by UPS, which would no longer be required if they don’t exist and it’s already been shown the other places will not care to provide options for them as it does not make them money.

        We don’t have post offices anymore in my country, instead there are loads of service points in regular stores. There are also parcel lockers that can be used tor sending and receiving packages up to a certain size.

        Frankly, it’s more convenient since instead of having one big central post office like we had 20 year ago now there is pretty much always one or more service points or lockers within walking distance of your home.
