It might take some time, but with USPS you're far more likely to receive the package in one piece. I don't even want to guess how many times I've received packages from UPS that were smashed, torn, or had a large hole gouged in the side. 
 
Also, UPS won't honor their insurance after they drop a clearly damaged package off at your door without ringing the doorbell and forge your signature.

For me USPS Priority Mail service within the U.S. has been 99.9%. 2-3 days anywhere in the lower 48, decent rates, ship at home and drop off with no waiting in line, never a lost or damaged package. I'd use them over UPS or Fedex any day of the week.

same here.
priority mail ftw. I don't use insurance neither!
