Not just government-run, but a government-enforced, tax-free monopoly. It is actually illegal for a private company to deliver regular mail so there is no real competition. If it weren't for Fed-Ex and UPS innovations they'd have no tracking system at all.
I live in a new subdivision where all the mailboxes are in one central box for each block. Makes it really easy for the post office. Yet, my mailman (ok "mail carrier") cant get the little pieces of paper into the right boxes more than, say, 85% of the time. The whole neighborhood knows things about my family that they shouldn't because the mail gets sent all over hell.

The Ramones' earliest titles included 'I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You,' 'I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement,' and 'I Don't Wanna Get Involved with You.' Dee Dee later said, "We didn't write a positive song until 'Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue'."
