Support cheques (direct deposit is optional for practically everything).

Sending official, original documents (anything related to passport applications).

Physical copies where required by contract (things like Strata AGM packages, some loan/investment documents).

The days of regularly sending your mom a handwritten letter are surely gone, but there’s still enough need for a postal service to exist.

I think where they really fucked up was with the junk mail. They got drunk off making money delivering pounds of paper advertising every day, and as people grew to hate it and opted out, and as businesses saw it wasn’t worth it, all of a sudden the junk mail side hustle no longer subsidized the cheap postal fees.
