Millions of people still rely on the postal service to deliver and send actual mail. Not everyone has internet service, not everyone even lives in an area where internet service is available - even if they could afford to have a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone to receive and send mail and other communication.
Some segments of this country are "off the grid." The USPS is their lifeline to the outside world.

I don't agree that the Post Office would have "shut down" without revenue from junk mail and Amazon. Congress never shuts anything down.
