Maybe your local UPS office has the reliability of the US postal
service (ugh).

I have never ever heard of UPS giving worse service than the US postal
service.  I have never ever heard of the US postal service delivering
a Next-Day letter on the next day.  "Next Day" to the U.S. postal
service means "The Next day when we get around to thinking about your
package, we'll think about delivering it."

I have shipped a few dozen packages via UPS and there has never been a
problem.  The service has always been cheaper and faster than U.S.
snail mail.
