I think it depends on your location.

For example, I guess we're a little more rural. We have no local UPS (the "local" UPS facility is about 40 minutes away)! If they miss your delivery, they will sometimes wait days before delivering it. They often mistakenly take it to the wrong town. I never trust the estimated delivery date with UPS. Especially if it's a Friday. If it's a Friday, I usually expect to get it the following Monday! [img]wink.gif[/img]

On the other hand, I'm usually shocked how fast USPS delivers to us.

Much having to do with delivery times seems to be based on the local level and also what priority packages are sent. Both UPS and USPS have really slow delivery methods, and really fast ones.
