User dir access using ~ in sh

I am writing code to copy file if user dir exists.
Code snippet :

#!/bin/sh
if [ -d ~user1 ]
then
cp ~user1/file file
else
cp ~user2/file file
fi

This code works if shell is ksh but not if shell is sh.
Can anyone suggest how this can work in sh script?

Thanks,
Ashish
