Actually, Federal Express provides transportation services for the USPS.

From page 6 of the most recent Federal Express 10-K:

U.S. Postal Service Agreement

Under an agreement with the U.S. Postal Service that runs through September 2013, we provide domestic air transportation services to the U.S. Postal Service, including for its First-Class, Priority and Express Mail. We also have approximately 5,000 drop boxes at U.S. Post Offices in approximately 340 metropolitan areas and provide transportation and delivery for the U.S. Postal Service’s international delivery service called Global Express Guaranteed (GXG).

Maybe they do, but more often it works the other way around. And when private companies do use USPS planes they pay for them, either with cash or with access to their own planes.
