It's interesting that no one's mentioned USPS Priority Mail,
which is often the best deal going - And fast.

I regularly get deliveries from the East Coast (to San Diego)
in 2-3 days. That's days, not "business days".

About a decade ago I was real fed up with UPS, mostly over
tardy/non-deliveries, and decided to give PM a try...

So far so good. I recently shipped a book to the antipodes -
My 1st international experiment - Took about a week, cost $8.
Arrived in pristine condition, according to the recipient.

And, no, I don't work for the USPS, or carry water for the Feds
generally  :)
