How do you ship?

[suiteskull]

What method do you use to ship your packages? What are your horror stories? I seem to have the most problems out of the USPS for damaging motorcycle plastics everytime, not giving an expected/guaranteed delivery date and charging more than the other guys for crappier service. But thats just me, what do you think?

what do you expect out of a government agency

I use UPS most of the time, every once in a while Fedex

When I ship, most of the time I use UPS. Have used FedEx a time or two. So far....knock on wood...haven't had problems with either.

I own a "PakMail" store and I have found that FedEx handles things a little better than UPS ... The USPS is crap ... The cost for UPS vs FedEx is usually within a dollar or two ... My "professional" opinion ... use FedEx

Also see if there is a PakMail around your area and support your neighbor by doing business with a "local" ...

I have never heard of PakMail

Is that a regional company?

We have a UPS account at work so we usually use UPS.

I haven't heard of PakMail either, We have a PostNet. Maybe they are like Huddle House and Waffle House?

The Fed Ex route for my area swaps directions as I am told. So say M, W, Fri Its 9:30 am delivery but T, Th its more like 5:00 sometimes. They may have changed this though.

Fed Ex is only as good as the contractor who owns your area.

I voted UPS but I also use USPS priority for smaller packages that will fit inside one of their 3 sizes of flat rate boxes. I like Fedex over UPS but live in a small town and the two I listed are the only available services without driving to a larger city.

I've always used USPS when shipping things back when I was into paintball. I've shipped over a hundred things threw them and have only lost one item that was heading to California. Package didn't have insurance on it either and it was worth 50 bucks.

I've shipped thousands of Priority Mail packages thru USPS at one of my old jobs....very rarely had any issues, we always used delivery confirmation....and sometimes signature confirmation for important stuff....
