I've had the exact same opposite, it takes 2-3 days for a letter mailed in Utah to get from Davis County to Salt Lake Count (20 mile difference, why it was mailed is a different story). My dad lives in Nebraska and a letter can take anywhere from 4-6 days to get there (1500 miles).
Boxes are impressive, I've never lost anything and they always arrive in great shape and on time. UPS and Fedex don't have great track records with my packages. I've mailed several things home internationally and the USPS is indeed better than most countries post offices IMHO.
