By FedEx or UPS.

  We strongly recommend FedEx or UPS over US Post service

US Postal Service is, based on our experience, not reliable as it should.
How many times have you received other person's mail at your home or office?
Not only their service is unreliable, USPS does not have efficient tracking system.
US Post's Confirmation of delivery only means that the package has reached nearest Post Office.
There is no guarantee that the package was actually delivered to the recipient.
See details - What does delivery confirmation mean to USPS?
US Post might be cheaper than FedEx or UPS, but is it worth for irreplaceable precious memories?

US Postal Service's delivery confirmation - what does it mean?

Priority mail or First Class mail's "Delivery confirmation" proofs that the item was delivered to the nearest Post Office, not actual addressee. It will take another day or two to get it delivered to the actual address.
As it clearly stated on their web site USPS can't tell where and when it will be delivered.

Here is the quote from the USPS's web site:
" Delivery Confirmation only provides you with a Confirmation of the delivery date and time once the article has been delivered to the addressee's Post Office; it does not provide for any tracking through the mail stream. Without a tracking system affixed to First-Class Mail, we are not able to tell you where the item is within the mail stream or when it will be delivered.
If expected First-Class Mail or Priority Mail has not arrived within five (5) Postal business days from its date of mailing, you can call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777) where a customer service representative will document your mail loss complaint, or you can visit the Postal Inspection Service Web site and complete a mail loss report.
Please note that if you complete a mail loss report, you will not receive an automatic response. If your First-Class Mail item is located, it will be returned to you. "

Therefore, we normally receive package one to two days after delivery confirmation was issued.
I don't know if this is a nice system, but that how it works with USPS.

If you want to use USPS with actual delivery proof, you must use:
1) Express mail
2) Certified mail with or without return receipt

Among all USPS packages, only Express mail is required package scanning.
In general, FedEx or UPS is better in terms of tracking functionality.
