I love the USPS. The line typically moves slow, but the rates are great and the postal workers in my town are very friendly.

I ship a game book in a USPS flat rate envelope. The book is 2.4 lbs, and it barely fits. I have to use packaging tape to make sure it doesn't bust open. The package says that it cannot be sealed by other means, but they don't care. Anywhere in the US for less than $5. International is less than $15. Sending via UPS or FedEx is about 5x as expensive.
