I'll go along with preferring USPS we have RFD, mailbox is 800 yards away, our Rural mail carrier lives around 4 miles away and he hand delivers all the packages that won't fit in the extra large mailbox, he always get's a nice Xmas present in the box, usually a pair of gloves or a personalized mug (Best Mailman in the World) ect., ect. Now UPS is partnered with USPS for local deliveries. You catch more delivery guys with honey, than vinegar. Just my 2 centavos.
