My preference is usps through the years although a couple did take the scenic route! For me, so long as the tracking #'s are working good and I can see updates I don't mind +/- a day...

When I was overseas I had a takedown recurve with me and when it came time to rotate home I packed up the bow and mailed it from the US Army mail outpost at the place I was at...in the farthest remote part of Afghanistan, in the Hindu Kush Mountains where Ghengis Khan used to ride...

I couldn't help wondering if I was handling my bow for the last time...

I cannot imagine the journey that Black Widow bow made all the way home, from one of the most remote places in the world.. in the hands of the Army and the USPS...

When I finally got home the bow was already there.

Undamaged.

USPS is all I use, nearly 1200 bows shipped since 2006, and I had two arrive late to the customer due to mis-routing, but never any thing damaged and never had to file an insurance claim.

Put almost 40 years in with the Post Office. Never had a problem with anything I ordered. Have noticed that Priority Mail is faster than it used to be. Last bow I bought off this site classifieds I received in 2 days. Excellent service.

I shipped several items via US Priority Mail in the beginning of this year and they took forever to arrive at their destination. I guess maybe there was enough complaints about Priority Mail deliveries that they took action. I noticed as of late the deliveries are arriving a day earlier than anticipated via Priority Mail.

I always use USPS and on valuable items I use USPS PRIORITY. An agent once told me that by going PRIORITY fewer folks handle the package and usually it is anywhere in the continental US in 2 to 3 days.

Plus Priority usually doesn't cost much more than normal parcel post.  I've seen the difference be as little as .30-.40 cents
