The UN has a Universal Postal Union that co-ordinates postal polices between member states. Established in 1874 as the General Postal Union, the UPU is among the oldest existing intergovernmental organizations. It sought to standardize international mail delivery by establishing a uniform postal rate and equal treatment between domestic and foreign mail. The organization adopted its current name in 1878. It operated independently before being incorporated into the UN in 1948.
Basically there are agreements in place so each countries postal service gets paid, but there is some short comings as some states get paid more than they receive for mail, and vice versa.
