Is it cheaper to use USPS?

for what? for standard mail it is probably close in price to ground or UPS... for priority, the others cant match Express or dont even offer the service capabilities.

 

I read an article where folks were worried about Amazon getting into the shipping game... to the end user that might have some effect because they use their own contract drivers for a substantial part of the service but for mass freight movement they recently purchased something like 25 large planes... Fedex has nearly 700 full sized air freight craft. It's a Memphis ballet when those suckers start rolling in on a daily basis.

I avoid UPS as much as possible due to bad personal experience and horror stories from others.  My last UPS experience ended up with significant damage to a tube amplifier that was definitely dropped from at least waist height.  A previous delivery resulted in some expensive and rare mono-blocks being delivered to the wrong house.  I eventually got them, but was a bit nervous for a day or two.  I have had better luck with FedEx Ground.

 

Overall, I actually prefer USPS.  They are no worse than the others in terms of damages but claims are much more likely to get paid.  I've never had a claim denied.
