I must agree.  My last experience was this:  I ordered a decent sized  
order from Digikey, shipped Priority Mail.  Then later that evening,  
I realized I forgot a couple of items, so I ordered again, but I  
missed the USPS shipping cutoff, so I chose UPS, thinking it would be  
faster since it would ship that night.  Hardly.  The Priority Mail  
arrived in two days - the UPS took a week.

And yes, Saturday delivery is great.
