I'll say up front that this is one of those posts that will bring out those who disagree, but that's ok.
I buy a fair amount on ebay, often get tools (reason for posting here). A lot of it is shipped directly through the Post Office (and the
hackles start to go up). I've gotten excellent service from USPS; here's my latest example. Late Monday night, I bought a sub-$20 item
with "free" shipping. Seller is in a small (less than 1000 people) village in northern Montana. Tues morning just before 8, he generated a
USPS mailing label. At 12:15 that afternoon, the Post Office got it & logged it in their system. Today - Thursday - at 12:45 PM here in
southwest Ohio, it was delivered, all in one piece. 48-1/2 hours, and it was tracked every step of the way. Great service!
