Report Description

In this white paper, the OIG compared postal models across a selection of 26 posts: the U.S. Postal Service and 25 foreign national postal operators. While the Postal Service operates under a unique model that combines flexibility in meeting universal service obligations (USO) with significant constraints (such as stricter pricing regulations, mandated six-day delivery, and limited diversification), many foreign posts enjoy greater commercial freedom.
