Your experience with the good ol' postal service must be alot better
than mine. On one occassion, we sent frozen food to Alaska by priority
mail- they said 2 days- and it got there in six, melted of course. Their
priority mail is so erratic, sometimes (and I'm stressing sometimes) it
gets to it's destination in 2 days, but if it's out of your zone or
across the country, it's closer to 4 or more. UPS has a proven record as
far as I'm concerned. Their trucks might reach 140 as Linda said, but
postal trucks are refridgerated.
