Would be curious how many things are sent this way, or how much could be saved by using P.O.JMO
Agencies have been using "interoffice mail" for a long time. Here in New York, with state office buildings and regional offices scattered statewide, it has always been cheaper and faster to send something with interoffice mail. Everything goes in one bag/box/container and is sent in the same state-owned truck, to arrive much faster and cheaper than USPS could ever provide.
I use USPS exclusively for shipping QB items or eBay items, because they are still cheaper than UPS or FedEx. I think the problem lies in the bill paying and correspondence. Since the onset of computers, it is much easier and cheaper to pay bills online and to email or send cards electronically. I don't buy blank checks that often, and very seldom buy postage stamps.
I could see going that route, not major carrier they may give some discount can't possibly be as reasonibly priced as USPS
