In today's USPS, both UPS and FedEx also carry the "mail" so one
cannot be sure who the "actual carrier" is.
I have no home delivery of US Mail so my USPS packages are held
secure inside the PO. Both UPS and FedEx delivery are drop n scoot
(lucky if you are home and hear the knock). And there your lovely
$5K purchase sits out in the wx available for thieves. I could opt
for one of the box clusters which would result in driving 25-miles to
the PO to pickup boxes too large. RFD is out of a neighbor city. My
local PO is 4.5 miles. When I was still employed the PO was 0.25 mi
from work which made it very convenient. Its a small town PO and
they know me by name.
Another reason to chose Priority Mail is that UPS/FedEx cost 2x to 3x
as much for delivery to Alaska (and 2-day delivery is 3-day+ for
all three services). No UPS/FedEx on weekends. PO is open on Saturday.
