Right now, in many cases USPS Priority Mail delivery and UPS Ground delivery are within about 2.00 of each other.  The chief reason I’d pick USPS over UPS is if I think there’s a chance that the package might arrive on a Saturday rather than a weekday.

However, if that’s no longer the case, I’m simply going to go with whomever is cheapest.

Oh, and did I mention the postal service is looking at rate hikes?

I guess it’s time to start getting my bills electronically or they won’t arrive at all.
