As a Canadian, I greatly prefer USPS as it reaches my door by way of Canada Post.
UPS, FedEx and DHL will leave packages in the open, if they deliver them at all. I work from home, and often they would claim delivery attempt when no such attempt was made. If they do happen to attempt and a signature is required but I am out, the nearest pickup location is an hour away.
Whereas Canada Post always attempts, and if I am out they will leave the package at the nearest post office, which is a short walk away.
Maybe USPS would have more value if it weren't being run into the ground? Canada Post performs reasonably well, after all.
