    Have a few boxes of presents to ship to Oregon, Washington and Texas. Not small, not huge.

    Don't really trust USPS, they seem more likely to fuck a box up and the lines are slow as fuck.

    Probably going UPS.

    You do realize UPS uses USPS right? Same with Fed Ex.
    Anyway sending boxes through the mail will cost you less using USPS and if you are mailing on time you will be fine with any of the big three.

    Stay away from DHL

    There is a small company call Parcel Monkey for anything domestic. They are starting to make some noise.

    Just remember shipping anything "Ground" goes through USPS in some way.

    USPS uses UPS a lot more than the other way around. Surepost is what it’s called.

    Okay. I'm gonna agree and stand by my statement. The big three USPS, UPS, Fed Ex all use each other. Stay away from DHL at least from my experience. Others might disagree on that.

    Other options are greyhound and the railroad. They ship stuff, large or small. The railroad ships books at a greatly reduced price. I had a friend who had lots of books that he got shipped to Toronto for a song. The only problem is the recipient has to go to either the bus terminal or the railway station to pick up the cargo. Check it out, call and find out their rates and where the nearest endpoint is to where you want it delivered.

    Not true. You can also use either greyhound or the railroad to ship stuff.

    Yes you can but then you have to go to the greyhound station or the railroad station to pick it up.
    Unless i am mistaken and they ship it local after it travels by greyhound? If i am excuse me for my ignorance on the matter. I have never actually shipped anything greyhound except people.
