<P>Use both.  Become familiar and comfortable with the policies and price
   schedules of each, and decide which service to use on a package-by-package
   basis.</P>

<P>If you live in the U.S., here are some general guidelines to get you
   started:<UL TYPE="BULLET">
     <LI>USPS if it's going to another country.</LI>
     <LI>UPS regardless of weight if the value is $75 or more.</LI>
     <LI>UPS regardless of value if the weight is more than 3 pounds.</LI>
     <LI>USPS Third Class if the weight is between 12 oz. and 32 oz.</LI>
     <LI>USPS First Class if the weight is less than 12 oz.</LI>
</UL></P>

<P>Both are equally reliable, although this is difficult to know for sure.</P>
