The Shire has a museum (mathom house) and a postal service, which implies they pay taxes for some level of public service.

Maybe they pay the mailman for deliveries? Tip at the museum to keep it open?

I see no reason why mail could not be carried by travellers on a barter basis. If I owned my own home and a pony, I could subsist quite comfortably by carrying the letters of farmers, I think.
