[quote mattkime]>>Priority Mail tracking is a joke and no insurance is included
you could pay the $1.50 for insurance.
I think the USPS is fine even if tracking is a bit weak.
Rip Van Winkle, hate to say that insurance on $80 is $2.05 at the USPS these days. It hasn't be $1.05 for years. Put that with the Priority Mail rate + Delivery Confirmation (not included w/ insurance) and its usually MORE expensive than FedEx Ground with worse tracking. Plus if you've ever tried to make a lost parcel claim with USPS you know you'll be 105 before you get your claim settled.
