Why does anyone still ship with USPS?

Last four non-Amazon online orders, all have come with USPS as the only shipping option. All four of them, I paid extra for 2-3 day delivery (because I needed the items quicker).
All four times, the morning that USPS tracking told me my package would arrive, I get "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."
The first three times, it was 8 days later, 3 days later, and 5 days later.
It's one thing for letters, junk mail, etc to be sent through the post office. But companies who sell things need to stop shipping with the post office. I'll pay extra for fedex/UPS, but many times, that's not an option on the seller's website.

Because as bad as they are, they are still cheaper and better than FedEx.
UPS is the GOAT, but not cheap

FedEx is pretty fricking terrible

Despite Usps issues (which have gotten really bad since the pandemic), if you live in a major city, their priority mail is a good value.

We trusted the fate of the free world with USPS. Think about that

USPS is cheaper, and despite the awful service last year, I did end up getting all my stuff... eventually

Gotta get to the states before USPS can get to you, baw.

I’ve packages from before Christmas that were never delivered by USPS.
What I hate is when I select UPS or FedEx from a vendor and USPS is used for the last mile...I see my mail carrier 3x per week, so any time USPS is involved, I know it’ll be late.
But yeah, let’s give USPS more money to mismanage...

The USPS branch for my area is good as hell.
It’s just the USPS shipping process before my package make it to my branch that is gawd awful.
I haven’t received any of my Amazon packages in the 2 day time in over 3 months....

USPS in Atlanta is not terrible. The package getting to Atlanta is a completely different story.

Sending within the city, or sending from out of state?

I don't mind paying more when I need something by a certain date.
Or, maybe, USPS should stop offering certain services if they know they can't get it done.
Don't offer me 2-3 day shipping if you can't do it. Just tell me, you know what, you will get it when you get it, and it's going to be very cheap to send it. For some items, that might be fine.

Because UPS is more of an abortion in my area

USPS in my old neighborhood made the news. The local driver was going to someone's backyard and dumping all the mail there for the day and then heading home
Nobody was getting mail and he was eventually caught via someone setting up a camera
