+1, UPS sucks about that. If you pay for Ground, you can almost guarantee it will take 5+ days even if the shipment is only a few hundred miles away.

OTOH, US Postal Priority Mail is the same cost or cheaper and will almost always deliver in 2-3 days across the whole country even though they state 2-5 days. The only thing you don't get is online tracking .
Tracking only serves to frustrate when you see a package get from the east coast to the Oakland facility then sit for the next 3 business days until your "ground" shipment is scheduled to arrive. No going above and beyond with Brown.
