Most corporations who bill you would much rather automate it than send you a paper bill in the mail. Doctors want you to visit their "Portal." The rest of the stuff in the mail box is just junk paper. Any good stuff, like motorcycle parts, is delivered by a private corporation. That basically leaves the costly and antiquated US Postal Service without a real mandate for its existence.

If they are eliminated then it will be interesting to see how the price of shipping packages is effected. And then of course there will suddenly be 639,000 people looking for a job.

Edit: Mrs. Irish brought up the point that mail that is delivered by the US Postal Service is Federally Protected and your mailbox is considered Federal Property. Interesting point and I didn't think of that.
