In spite of the badmouthing USPS gets for being a quasi-governmental organization, I have had virtually no trouble with them at all. They are very helpful and courteous at the counter, and their service has been excellent. I even had a letter carrier knock at my door once in the pouring rain to inform me that another delivery service had left a package at a side door of my house that I rarely use, and I hadn't noticed it. I hear endless horror stories about UPS (Universal Parcel Smashers). The big brown trucks park anywhere they damn please, and will run you off the road given the chance. USPS rates are reasonable, and are by far the best for overseas shipments. Post offices are everywhere, but I have to drive a good distance to find a UPS facility, since I refuse to pay the extra fees that Mailboxes, Etc. charge.
