I've had a lot of trouble with the postal service. They now refuse to
deliver packages to my house. They apparently found a rule that says if
your house is more than 1/2 mile from the public roadway, they don't
have to deliver parcels. So to save the driver 5 minutes delivering to
my house I have to make a 1-1/2 hour round trip to the post office to
pick up my package.
FedEx, UPS, OnTrack and all other delivery companies do deliver to my
house. But not the postal service.
My experience is that USPS is a big, bureaucratic, semi-governmental
organization that doesn't care about its customers.

USPS Priority Mail is definitely a bargain coupled with 2 to 3 day
delivery.
I ship most of my repair work via USPS Priority Mail. It is just a bit
more than USP Ground, but much less than UPS 2nd day or 3 Day Select.
Delivery is dependable unless there is a local problem at the receiving
end. I have shipped over 500 completed repairs that way.
Only one caveat - if the package is large (more than 12 inches in any
one dimension), there is a large parcel surcharge, and it varies by
size. If the package is more than 14 inches in any dimension, I usually
opt for UPS Ground which is usually a lower cost.

Still, USPS beats em all on pricing. I just sold a K3 to a buyer who
wanted USPS. No problema. I prepaid via internet, just dropped the box
off at the nearest PO, got there OK.
