What are the reliable postal services in the USA
 

Hi Guys!

What are the reliable postal services you can use in the USA that are comparable, reliable and cheap like we have royalmail and myhermes in the UK.

I am not talking of fedex, DHL or UPS as those are expensive unless you are doing volume. You see, I can send tracked parcel with myhermes in Uk from £2.60

So, which services have a nationwide reach in the US at a very cheap price. I have heard of US postal service, is that something like our post office? DO they provide tracking and from which price?

Thanks

USPS = United States Postal Service.
Yes I believe that would be the equivalent of Royalmail.
And they do offer shipping with tracking which is relatively cheap. The prices would depend on the service you choose and the size/weight of your package. You can find out more info on their website.

I'd like to second this recommendation.

I ONLY use USPS. Compared to FedEx or UPS, they are less reliable, but I average 1 lost/damaged package about every 400 or so. Your mileage may vary, but overall USPS is excellent, especially for the cost.
