so everything flies.
In the past USPS contracted with Aloha Cargo or Transair, and I believe they still do. All mail is sorted and post marked in Honolulu, so you mail a letter from Volcano to Keaau, it goes from Volcano to Hilo PO to Hilo airport to Honolulu airport to Honolulu PO (the only place in the islands with automated sorting machines, to Honolulu airport to Hilo airport to Hilo PO to Keaau PO.
I don’t think there’s an alternative.
…………….
No alternative for interisland PO. But Amazon (direct order from Amazon, not listed on Amazon and shipped by independent business), Amazon flies their plane into Kona airport, then drops packages with USPS for last mile delivery. It’s presorted so placed on a truck from Kona to Hilo.
