Interfolio vs. UC Berkeley letter service

[Daydreamer2008]

Hi all,
I am debating which letter service to use.
This year I used UCLA which was slow and so I had to pay $$$ for expedited service. Now I want to see if I should use my undergrad school: UC Berkeley or interfolio, can anyone with experience with either share? (I used UC Berkeley for grad school but can't remember how fast they were...and speediness is important since I'm reapplying and planning on getting secondaries out ASAP!)
Thanks!

hmm i've only used berkeley's service but found them very efficient and timely.. never had an issue with letters not being delivered etc

in terms of price:
$100 for alumni membership and activation
basic processing (3-5 business days) - $5 domestic, $10 international
express processing (2 business days) - $25 domestic, $35 international
rush processing (same day if in by 10am) - $40 domestic, $50 international
(fedex tracking for the last two)

love how every step of the process someone finds a way to make some more money off you

If those prices are accurate, interfolio is way cheaper.

applying to med now from uc berkeley undergrad and i used the letter service--

considering that processing is 3-5 BUSINESS days, I guess they were somewhat timely, but if I'm only willing to pay 5 bucks a pop, I didn't really like the two-three week lag time (not to mention horrid, and i mean HORRID customer service).

I'd use almost anything but, however I had no choices so it did the job
