Say what you will about the USPS, it’s pretty good overall. In Canada, they pay $1.07 for a stamp. I once mail a letter from IN to North Bay, Ont., and it took just under a month to deliver it. When I asked a Canadian why their rates were so high for such lousy service, they explained that it was $0.17 for delivery, and $0.90 for storage.
I mailed 3 large boxes (each ~45 lbs.) by the lowest rate from MD. to HI. last Friday. They all arrived on Tuesday. Impressed me with speed.

Very good up here in NW GA. We get mail every day, Mon-Sat.
Just mailed a 3.5 lb package Priority Mail, N.GA to Billings Montana. Double boxed, factory shipping carton inside a Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box, $17.10 with delivery confirmation. Arrived in two days (mailed Thur, arrived Sat).
Suggestion for Nattering Nabobs of Negativism.
Go to UPS or Fedex. Ship a 3.5lb, 11.25”x8.75”x6” box 1700 miles to a residence and compare the cost.
