There are many niches within the general category of "post". USPS's focus (and monopoly) is on first-class and bulk mail.

How much cost/time does it cost Swiss Post to ship a package 4000km ?

It's at least 3x the price of USPS:

Erm. What are you comparing here?

I read your comment as 'Given USPS can send a package over 4000km in the same country, let's compare that with international charges in Switzerland'¹. Is that correct? Because that would be a liiiittle bit misleading in my world and I'd like to compare Swiss international charges with a USPS delivery from New York to Reykjavik please.

① Apologies if that isn't the case. But 4000km just felt too close to the east coast to west coast distance.
