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.

“Say what you will about the USPS, it’s pretty good overall. “

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.
