Paying someone to deliver your mail doesn't give them the right to read it.
Your landlord doesn't have the right to videotape what goes on in your house, either.

Records of phone calls made can be obtained and/or used.
Delivery of mail as a service connected to the mail seems a bit broad. Like saying the Pizza delivery guy can't eat your pizza or the grocery delivery people can't actually see the food in the box they are delivering.
Pretty sure real estate rental is not considered a service provided by the landlord even in a hotel. Some exceptions but in general not for renting personal living space.
And the mail delivery people need a court order to legally examine your packages in most cases while the customs people do not. If the mail people feel that dangerous/contraband goods are contained in your mail (letters or packages) they can get that court order pretty fast or in some cases legally proceed without one.
