Was more talking about packages. Their package pricing is pretty similar.
Then it sounds like the answer to your question...

...is that you’re missing 99% of USPS’s business.

I don't think the USPS receives any funding from the government. They also are not allowed to set their own prices.

If you really want to know one of the major problems with the USPS, look up The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006.
It requires the USPS to pay in advance for the health and retirement benefits of all of its current and future employees for the next 50 years, and stipulated that the price of postage could not increase faster than the rate of inflation.
For comparison, from 2004 to 2006, the USPS made $6 billion in profits.

Cheaper for me or for large companies that get large discounts for commercial bulk?
For me, it's because large companies get large discounts for commercial bulk.

Not directly. They have a $30 billion line of credit with the government.
In most years, they fund their daily operations 100%.

This is incorrect as well. For light packages, Usps is way more economical than Fedex. As your packages get heavier, then Fedex tends to beat Usps on rates. But then again, that is Fedex’s market.

Flat rate boxes beat the shite out of FedEx pricing
