lkrfletcher I don’t post much, but I am a customer service representative here at Walton’s (the other Jonathan) and this is a question we get asked often! Selecting Expedited shipping at the time of checkout is the only current way to avoid a hand off to USPS. Expedited does cost a little bit more but provides the assurance that your package will stick with UPS throughout its duration in transit. I know some customers choose this option exclusively as UPS is usually more reliable than the postal service.
