UPS offers Priority Mail 2-Day
Despite the name "Priority Mail 2-Day," USPS does not guarantee their shipping time for the 2–3 days shipping options. They only guarantee delivery for Priority Mail Express shipments, for which you have a Money-Back Guarantee. USPS does not offer this option for their other types of shipments. Click here for more details from USPS on Priority Mail delivery times.
If it is within 30 days of when your Priority Mail Express package was shipped, you may take advantage of your Priority Mail Express Money Back Guarantee. Refunds for Priority Mail Express service failures can only be requested and processed at your local Post Office. Here is some more information about refunds through USPS.
