How are packages delivered?
Which Delivery Services is better for you?
There are so many different Shipping Options to Choose from, it’s difficult to make apples to comparison without locking down some of the basic Parameters.
In my experience, I’ve had some Priority Mail Packages Delivered within a single day and I’ve seen delivery times as long as 1.5 weeks. While the latter tends to be an anomaly, overall the delivery speed is somewhat random.
FedEx and UPS however, always guarantee their delivery times but are significantly more expensive. In some cases, FedEx and UPS will cost you will over 2X the cost of USPS.
If you decide to use USPS as your primary shipping carrier, the cheapest way to go is to use a service like ExtraShip.com.
