Ever wonder how the USPS is losing money?

I ordered an item from Amazon last week. Delivery was promised later this week, Mon - Thu. Yesterday I checked tracking. It is coming by USPS. Amazon shows that it is still in transit. USPS tracking is another story. USPS tracking said it would be delivered by 8pm yesterday. It wasn't. It is just going back and forth among local USPS facilities.
Here is the tracking history in reverse order so far:
