Yes, I sure miss package delivery. Don't miss letters at all. No mail here.
Life with no mail or packages is a lot less clutter, but less convenient on the latter.
In NJ they still send car registration renewals and things like that through the mail. If you don't get it mailed, the only other option is to go to DMV. Medicare and Social Security also only mail correspondence and forms.

Here you can order your car registration renewal online and have it mailed, but if you go at the right time of day the contracted licensing places have no wait, just walk in, pay, and they print it out. Our state has no more voting poll places, all by mail, no stamp needed, but we just drop it into a big box in front of city hall. I suppose being federal government SS and Medicare (and IRS) use mail to help prop up the USPS.
I don't see why we even need the U.S. Postal Service anymore. Most of what I receive is junk mail that goes right in the trash without even being opened.

USPS is a bargain and reliable. And self-supporting.

I already have enough Forever stamps to last me over 30 years at my current usage. Which is less then one per year. I think it is a safe bet that I will never buy another stamp, as long as I live. So as far as I am concerned, they can raise the price to $100 a stamp if they want. How the USPS can possibly continue to operate, I have no idea.
