They can, but they are subject to the same laws regarding mail fraud as the USPS. That puts them under the jurisdiction of DHS (and Secret Service).

"The term mail fraud refers to any scheme carried out in a fraudulent manner, with the intent of depriving another person of his or her property, or “honest services,” via the U.S. Postal Service, or any other interstate mail carrier. Since 1872, the crime of mail fraud has been classified as a federal offense in the United States, and carries serious penalties. To explore this concept, consider the following mail fraud definition." Source: LegalDictionary.net

True. Worst (best) was scraping oil sludge from the bilge in the shipyard every summer. That, and replacing a shaft alley one time. Good times for those who appreciate wooden boats. Terrible time for my summer help!

Mail fraud applies only to United States domestic mailings and use of interstate carriers (UPS, FedEx) which must originate in one state, and successfully terminate pursuant to the address label inside another state. Where I live, the USPS often sends its mail to the nearest PO distribution center, and UPS takes it all the way home for rural delivery. It can certainly be mail fraud under the right circumstances, regardless of whether or not UPS is a "government" agency - just like you yourself can commit mail fraud.
