Will be sending in our AOS/AP package this week and was wondering if I should send via USPS or UPS/Fedex? Almost hate to trust either one to get this valuable package delivered correctly!

We sent Claudeth's USPS certified/registered mail. I can't remember, which ever one requires a signature.

We used USPS Express Mail which is guaranteed next day delivery by noon (mine was a day out as we turned it in just as the post office was closing on a Friday and i don't suppose the Chicago Lockbox people work weekends. See timeline). It has to be signed for and you get a receipt with a tracking number so you can check exactly when it got there and who signed for it. We managed to fit everything into a sturdy flat rate envelope which cost $13.45 with tax. I thought it was good value and felt secure in sending it that way, especially as it had a money back guarantee if not delivered and signed for on the day that they said it would get there.

Good luck on starting your AOS journey!!

I'm not too pleased with USPS right now. Carly sent me our I-129F package Express Mail on Feb 4th....It's still not here (Feb 12th)

I've gotten stuff from her regular USPS that's gotten here faster than that. She dropped it off on Saturday afternoon at the post office. It was entered into their system on Monday at 5PM.

Then again, I would never use UPS. Their brokerage/disbursement/COD fees for Canadians are beyond unethical. Downright theft.
