Evaluating the performance of universal postal service providers (USPs) in the G20 group of nations, Oxford Strategic Consulting (OSC) found that the United States Postal Service (USPS) achieved the best overall ranking among postal operators.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) scored high due to its high operating efficiency and public faith in its performance.
