| I went with USPS just because it was much cheaper for me. However, i know many on here prefer UPS. Are you going to give us any clues on where that great box is going?

| It depends on the weight and how far you are shipping it. USPS Priority Mail is usually cheaper the the 3 day option for UPS. Though if the box is heavier, UPS Ground will be cheaper the the USPS Priority Mail, at least that's my experience... USPS Priority Mail usually gets there in 2-3 days... |

| UPS. USPS looses stuff way too often and it is difficult to track a shipment unless you pay a premium price. If you ship from a UPS store, the staff there will help you if your package gets lost or misplaced.

I shipped mine UPS because of this, wouldn't want Evie's GE buddy to not get her package. Plus UPS covers you for the first $100. While you have to probably pay another $3 for insurance.

| I prefer USPS because sometimes I can't always be here to accept a delivery, and I don't like things being left on my doorstep. The USPS doesn't ever leave packages that way. Plus, we are all supposed to insure our packages when we ship per the GE rules, so either way the package will be tracked and insured, UPS or USPS.

| I perfer UPS because you get your tracking number and insurance included in your shipping price. I have used USPS as well, I usually take it to a packing place and they tell me what's my cheapest route. Usually UPS

| I ship fed ex or ups because I get a huge discount through work. I also like that you can track the packages.
