I've been fuched by USPS several times recently and often think the best thing for everyone would be if they just went out of business. Unfortunately the other carriers are just not competitive for small packages but I use UPS whenever feasible.

The latest USPS failure was so pathetic it's almost funny - I sent a small item back east via Priority Insured but it was never delivered. The tracking data showed "unclaimed" but the address was correct and the addressee was there, and simply never got it. So, I filed the insurance claim and got a check. Then a couple days later, USPS returned the package to me. I shipped it a second time and it arrived fine. This cost me a month of lost time but I came out $192 ahead...
