With Priority:
You can ship up to 70 lbs.
You get free delivery confirmation on online postage.
You can use free envelopes, boxes, tape, and labels provided by the post office.
You get to have "Priority Mail" all over the package.
With First Class, there's a 13 oz. limit and you don't get the perks.
The website might report an extra day for first class on certain long distances, but they travel together, through the same sort facilities and by air. In practice, they're the same speed.
Neither service guarantees times, but it's usually 1 day within a hundred miles or so, 2 days to most other places within the 48, with coast-to-coast sometimes taking 3. AK, HI, and territories usually take 3-5 days, depending on remoteness.
If a pre-paid, non-flat package was dropped off at the counter buried in Parcel Post, their red, white and blue packaging might help keep it from accidentally traveling with the Parcel Post, by surface. The people at acceptance are generally the only ones who pay attention to the postage or postage type and they group Priority with First Class.
USPS parcel post is a ground surface offered by the USPS, and is estimated to take from 2 - 9 days, or up to 14 postal business days. Priority mail takes priority over parcel post and first class mail, is usually sent by air, and can arrive in 2-3 days, with a maximum of 5 days. parcel post accepts larger boxes/packages, while priority mail does not. Parcel post is a different service from bulk mailing, which is used by businesses who mail out large amounts of mail at regular intervals.
UPS is a publicly-traded company (ticker: UPS) that stands for United Parcel Service. USPS stands for the United States Postal Service and is a quasi-governmental agency. USPS is self-funded through the sale of postage stamps and delivery services.
There is little difference between the two shipping services. However, USPS Priority mail is generally guaranteed to reach its destination within 2-3 business days, and UPS Ground can sometimes take up to 2 weeks. UPS also offers airmail service, which reduces the length of time, and depending upon where it is being shipped to, can be delivered next day. USPS has strict weight and package size guidelines, and UPS will allow any size other than that which is required to be transferred via freight service. UPS and USPS both offer competitive rates, and are far less than the rates of FED-EX. I hope that I have helped you out!
New answer:
Ups is way more faster and reliable then USPS.
USPS Priority will be delivered in 2 to 3 days.
UPS (brown trucks) is completely separate from USPS.
Yes, USPS does but UPS and FedEx do not.
Please clarify, do you mean UPS? USPS stands for the United States Postal Service and they wouldn't deliver between UK and Philippines.
Pull ups are awesome and stuff
UPS - 152,500 vehicles FEDEX - more than 92,300 USPS - 202,000 vehicles in delivery fleet
The only difference between a USPS city carrier assistant 1 and a USPS city carrier assistant 2 is seniority and pay. The assistant 2 position is a promotion from the assistant 1 position.
USPS shipping rates have been going up so unless you are shipping a small heavy item that can fit in a USPS flat rate box then UPS is the cheaper way to go. UPS also offers cheaper insurance rates.
UPS Ground is the most cost efficient of the two but standard is significantly faster
USPS, from my experience.
I don't know either !
Fedex and UPS
ups ground are trucks and deliver faster and cheaper if its close by and ups express delivers the same but Saturday and Sunday
