We have both state private run post , state closed almost every state
run'ed post office some years ago and handed these over to private
shop owners under state overlooking and pricing of shipping and it works.
I suppose it works because the state declares the shipping fees, and the overall handling and practices if this would have been done on a local
private base it would clearly havoc. So even the smallest countryside
outback bread and butter shop can have a small post office in their
pocket delivering packages to the usual woodland troll without much
trouble.
