The "oh, Acme Co. will solve the problem" answer to the postal crisis is the product of a civic derangement where too many have simply failed to learn the fundamental requirements of government/public functions.

US Mail has legal authorities, oversight. You mess with it, --
-- it's a federal crime. Amazon logistics? It's a property issue, and there are exactly ZERO security guarantees.

Handing the ballots to the private sector would be the greatest unforced error, ever, in the history of politics. I shudder at the f*ckery that could unfold.

--
-- Accept that you need well funded civic institutions and stop running to the market for every damned thing.
