I would usually choose the cheapest option that has a tracking number so i'll be able to know when it will approximately arrive.

I use the cheapest. I'm not in a rush, and if I am I'll go to a local store and pay that little bit more.

I prefer Canada Post/USPS as well. I have a PO Box however.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

Usually the cheapest unless it's something I want asap.

If I order anything before 10 AM, then I always do next day delivery, but anything past 10am I just use standard shipping, usually 3 day shipping.

Generally I order stuff off of Amazon, (shhh. sometimes even PC parts) so yakno. Free 2-day shipping.  :D 
But when it's somewhere else, I guess it really just depends on the price. If they have a free option where it's like 8-16 days versus a 5 dollar option for 2 days, I'd gladly pay that 5 dollars for 2 days, especially if it's something that I need/want.

I do the same. I can wait a bit longer why pay more?

If I buy from Newegg I always pay for 3-day shipping with rush processing because I live 5 hours from their warehouse which turns three day shipping into next day shipping if they ship the day I place my order.

Normally the cheapest option that does not require me to go and pick it up from somewhere. Unless it's like my last PCCG order where express shipping was like a dollar more. There have been times when express was actually the same price.

Most times I choose free delivery to the local post office because I am in school when the mailman comes by. When I am on vacation or have one or two days off then I choose to get it delivered to the door.

I usually do three day. I have been known to overnight stuff if I am impatient or in a legitimate hurry.
