I have in recent time been using USPS (United State Postal Service) 
Priority Mail with excellent results. From Mouser (Texas), Jameco 
(Calif.), and Digikey (Minn. -goes to North Dakota next) I have been 
getting 2nd day for around $6 for small packages, plus Saturday delivery 
to your mailbox if fits your schedule (Thursday order midday, see it 
Saturday). No tracking before delivery, just confirmation after.
