Logistics. Less trouble and less expensive to use a single company
that
will pick up on a daily basis than to hand deliver to the shippers
location, if the size of the package you got is the exception.


USPS will pick up - even at residences.

Which proves my point, you would have to send some one to the post
office,

No, it says exactly the opposite -- U_S_PS _also_ has onsite pickup either
on call or scheduled.

and iroically the post office does not deliver to every home.

Agreed, they don't deliver to the house here, because we choose to use a
PO Box rather than have a rural box...


However, I don't know that there's any residence in the US which doesn't
get USPS service that would choose to do so altho there are very rural
areas out here that have rural delivery routes that run 3 days/wk, for
example, rather than daily since they may be a 200-mile round route w/ a
half-dozen ranches total. If they want/need it quicker, there are
self-access boxes at the PO that are 24/7 accessible.


They don't deliver to new neighborhood homes in the Houston area at all.
You have to go to the "block" mail box to get your mail. Like living in an
appartment complex. USP will deliver to your door.
