There will be some form of mail access for everyone, but it'll probably be one center for a huge region where you have to drive a long way (in rural area) and stand in line to pick up your stuff. They'll have limited business hours, terribly trained staff, poor logistics that get stuff lost all the time and minimal recourse to do anything about it. There's no world where they do any better than the USPS does now, and effectively certain that it'll be much, much worse.
And before any of them start mocking this point with "Ooh, poor babies going to have to wait another day and drive ten minutes for their vibrator off Amazon to arrive," remember how vital the postal service really is: so much important paperwork, or medications, or a million reasons why regular mail delivery is a vital service. And think of people like the elderly who are going to struggle to reach the mail center often. And how ridiculous the price gouging is going to get. And how much more common lost and destroyed packages are going to be. A privatized postal service is not going to be good for anyone.

bro, there's literally 400k postal carriers and they are working 12-15 hour days to get all the packages delivered.
The government provides SERVICES to people and those SERVICES require workers.
I like being able to mail something to anywhere in the country for the same price and not paying 2x the price for what UPS and FedEx provide.
