Any of the normal package services, are as cheap, often cheaper, and are at least twice as fast. So even at a dollar or two more, the cost on time is still cheaper.

that's just completely incorrect. i ship more than 1000 parcels per month with USPS (up to 2000 some months) and have been doing business with them at this level for almost 6 years now. they consistently ship prioorty mail on time and always cheaper than fed ex or ups for 2-3 day service. UPS calls me ~1x every 6 months or so wanting my business, their rep drops by my warehouse and i ask him to match USPS pricing and i will switch. they cannot.
and their international shipping is just as accurate and 2-3x cheaper than UPS.
