You can tell the quality of a Postal Service based on how much bullet
proof glass they need
to protect the employees from their customers...

Henry's take pride in using USPS; they think they are
delivering superior service to their customers. I have seldom
bought from the US, but have always asked for USPS; small
values (50 pounds max?), but never paid import duties either.
As a UK recipient, I hate couriers with a passion; I am never
in and have to drive to their depots, usually half an hour
out of town (and I am already out of town :-).
With the standard mail service, I just walk to the depot on a
Sat, or drive by on the way to work and that's pretty much
the case for everyone in inhabited areas, I should think.
Har!
Royal Mail left me a note a few weeks ago saying that a parcel was waiting
for me at Woolwich. That's not my normal depot, which is only a short walk
away. It took me almost an hour to get to the depot in Woolwich, which is
not in a place that's easy to walk to. They then told me that I'd come to
the wrong place and they didn't have my parcel. To add insult to injury, the
guy on the desk said "If you had any common sense you'd have known the
address printed on the card was wrong".

At which point I exploded with mighty wrath and came down on him like a wolf
on the fold. I would have smote him, had we not been separated by
bulletproof glass.
