Canada Post Vs. USPS

How does Canada transport their packages? I know USPS puts theirs on commercial planes, and that's how they help keep prices down.

One thing the USPS really needs to do is get a better system for tracking. I mean if you pay for the service at least they should do what the UPS and Fed Ex does with tracking. But no, USPS wont do that. Get updates on where it is. And yes, the USPS travels a lot of mail via Semi-trucks. I see them all the time.

You can actually get that sort of tracking if you use Express Mail. Priority mail just provides Delivery Confirmation. You get what you pay for. I've found USPS Priority Mail to be much cheaper then FedEx or UPS.

I think there's some arrangement with USPS and FedEx, in fact. I remember part of that agreement was FedEx drop boxes being placed at every US Post Office.
