    Re: USAKilts shipping is quick, USPS not so much.

    While they may be a little slower around this time of year, I can count on 1 hand the number of missing / misdelivered packages I've had from the post office in over 8 years of business (out of literally thousands of shipped packages). Their prices are the most reasonable, boxes are free (a BIG plus) and they are generally reliable. The Express service lets me down on occasion, but for average speed of a package (Priority Mail), they're good and least expensive.

    I'm glad your package arrived before Xmas for you.

    My experience has been the same with USPS, Rocky! Obviously I don't have even remotely close to the volume of shipping that you do, but having been to Afghanistan and Iraq, I've come to trust them pretty darned well. Are they always as fast as FedEx or UPS...no...but they do routinely work on Saturdays which is more than you can say for those other companies. As others have said, their online tracking is worthless, IMO...I like UPS's system the best for that!! On the whole, though, stuff has always gotten to it's destination, be it NY, NC, CA, Iraq, or Afghanistan!
