They don't deliver to PO boxes because they're not affiliated with the Post Office. (And they usually request someone there to pick up the box. But they will deliver to the person's address even if they have a PO box. They also will sometimes deliver to those storefront PO box places where there is a staff member present, but you have to address it to the physical location in c/o. They probably deliver to about the same number of places as the USPS

They cost more because they do. In theory you're paying for reliability and speed. And for them to be open on July 5th.

I use the USPS but only because of convenience. I can walk to the post office.

There is also the fact that they are privately owned. They have to make a profit while USPS just needs to cover expenses.
