The United States Postal Service took aim at the multi-billion corporate market dominated by FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service by introducing a new program offering discount rates for small package delivery. “Competition is good for the consumer, but is this a level playing field?” said John Flick, a spokesman for UPS, which has long complained that the Postal Service uses its domestic monopoly to subsidize its international offerings. Greg Rossiter, a spokesman for FedEx, declined to comment directly on the Postal Service move, but said customers consider not only price but quality.
