Count me in the USPS lovers. I'm from Canada, and the mail service there is horrible compared to south of the border.


I'm from Canada, and I have no complaints about my mail service.


In the US, you can mail something Thursday and it will be received Friday, at least within a 100 mile radius. It takes 3 days in Canada.


I don't have any data for <100 miles, but I've gotten stuff across the country in 3-4 days at the basic rate, 2000 miles not just 100 miles. And there are options for next day delivery, it's not like it's not available.

Canada's low and spread out population has to count for something in this argument.


You can get stuff across country in the US in 3-4 days too. And I didn't say there weren't economic/geographic reasons why Canada's mail service isn't as good, just that it isn't as good.


But you can get next day delivery if you pay for it, to anywhere in Canada. So... it's just as good.
