I think they use combination locks, actually. Supposedly it's the same
combination nationally too.
There was an article in 2600 Magazine about that. The locks are
actually 'insecure' and you can test every possible combo in about
10-20 minutes.

I think you are confusing USPS and FedEx.
USPS uses key locks seemingly designed by Ben Franklin himself.
Look at them someday. FedEx boxes used to have Simplex 926
5 pushbutton ""locks"" if you stretch the point.
I'm guessing what they lost was a reloader for postage meters.
