That sounds like an exception. Everything I buy or sell via USPS has nearly identical travel times to UPS or FedEx. Their tracking use to be shit, but now it's pretty much on-par with their competitors.
He lives in Arizona, according to the post. Although that's far from LA, the fires probably introduced delays even in his area due to the way regional distribution centers are setup. A number of trucks likely had to be diverted to reassigned, causing backups through the region. Same thing happened to UPS/FedEx.
Privatizing mail is a terrible idea. It can only get worse. Examples: AusPost and Deutsche Post. They both suck, really bad. Package delivery is always a shot in the dark. There is a reason the USPS is written into the constitution. It cannot be privatized without an amendment.
