United States Postal Service will pick up daily. Ahem...their rates are cheaper, too. In fact they’re quite a bargain.

That is true. The trade off is, no tracking and longer transit times. Sometimes really long.

With Priority or Express Mail your package can get to most destinations in 1 or 2 days, and can be tracked; same with certified/registered mail. USPS has come a long way, thanks to the competition from FedEx and, to a lesser degree, UPS>
