  Why not just send by the USPS?

  Agreed.

  The irony is, FedEx delivers my Mint shipments to a local post office for -- you guessed it -- final delivery by USPS.

  My last shipment from the Mint was so poorly packaged that I made the clerk watch me open it to be sure the contents were all there.

  Yeah. The Mint could help the struggling USPS out with its business, after all they are both government agencies, but I suppose that makes entirely too much sense. That or FedEx has made "political contributions" to the powers that be.
