I never ship ANYTHING by any method other than USPS.

Their rates are much better for small to medium sized packages. If you use priority mail it only takes 2-3 days to get anywhere in the country vs a week via UPS or FexEx's comparably priced serves.

They deliver 6 days a week instead of UPS' 5. Tracking is very accurate.

And, as an above poster said, there are no usurious "brokerage fees" for international posting, unlike UPS/FedEx.
