Well....
Offer USPS Priority as the "default" choice, and make darn sure you specify in the auction that it WILL NOT get there in time UNLESS they go with the second option of FedEx 3-day.
I've had better luck with Priority.... it's not 100%, but it's been far more economical than UPS in most cases, and things USUALLY get there in the stated time (3-5 business days).
I'm very seldom willing to pay out the arse for FedEx.. though the few times I've used them (NOT FedEx GROUND, which sucks beyond all measure of description), they've been great.
