While it can be easy to get upset when a parcel ends up being delivered a day late, that can always be reconciled against the average 700,000,000+ pieces of mail that are processed for an average 145,000,000+ deliveries each day. 85,000,000 pounds of mail were delivered, per day, in 2006.
Take it from someone that has been using the services of all these companies for over well two decades - USPS is the most reliable of the bunch. And often the least expensive, to boot.
Amen to that!
