Only problem with private carriers that I can find, is that they
won't (or can't I guess) deliver to P.O. Boxes.  I prefer to have
any mail orders sent to mine.  Some companies won't ship anything
except private carrier, and things never get to me.  My only other
choice is to have it sent private carrier to work, where it's liable
to get lost in the system, possibly opened and spread around the
company before I even know it's arrived.
