A problem I've seen with USPS Priority (on 3 occassions this year), is that 
the package does not show up, but their delivery confirmation system says 
that it was delivered.  Neither the phone reps nor the walk-in post-office 
employees would do anything about it, as they say that their system says it 
had been delivered, so I must be wrong or lying, etc.

On all three occasions, the package(s) showed up a few weeks later.

Every shipping company has their issues, but being having no proof or 
incorrect proof of delivery is worse, so I stick with UPS, even for the few 
extra bucks.
