Find it strange that USPS are involved in so many non-mail related tasks

What's crazy is that the USPS is using truck that have an internal combustion engine in it. They should use horses and pony's like the good old days, and never change.

Email has largely obviated the need for mail, except for physical goods, and like every organization, the USPS is evolving.

Can you give examples? I browsed their wikipedia page but can't find a list of non-mail related tasks. Is it like UK Royalmail where you can buy stamps and the staff offers you travel insurance, currency conversion and a credit card?
