Yeah, I LOVE USPS for domestic orders from Digikey & Mouser.  Always 
receive in 2 days here in Georgia.
USPS Overseas is another matter however,  Just had a package come back 
that had been shipped over a month ago to South Africa.  The labels on 
it indicate it had been to South Africa and back at least twice.

Also, note that frequently UPS is faster than the service you pay for.  
I receive UPS Ground from Texas and California in 2 days.
