Set up a UPS account. They will tell you in advance how much it will cost to ship the item and how long it will take to get there. You can print your label from home and drop off at their location, or arrange pick-up (at additional cost). If it's small enough, you can drop off the item at "mail-box" locations.
Fed-Ex probably uses the same services, and DHL (just don't ship a Cuban girl). Any of these are more guaranteed than the USPS for tracking. UPS tells you how long, USPS gives you an estimate.
