I've neverused FedEx to ship anything myself but I have had more packages than not delivered by them were damaged in some manner and I had to use the insurance claim for whatever. UPS as of yet has never given me any problems, gives accurate online tracking, and the UPS Store that I use most frequently charges decent rates (they're cheaper than going to the actual UPS center somehow). I don't use USPS for packages as they only offer delivery confirmation but not en route tracking. I wanna be able to tell day to day where my sh*t is.

Fed Ex all the way man. I have not ever once in my life recieved a crushed package from Fed Ex so they get my vote.

I buy everything online. I've used UPS, FedEx, and USPS. USPS is fastest, cheapest, but have horrible tracking, I've received items Arizona to Massachusetts in 3 days with Priority Mail service. Fedex is 2nd in speed and deliver on Saturdays. UPS is reliable they deliver when they say and I've never had an issue with them. I believe UPS has the best tracking though, it updates faster than FedEx, though FedEx is close second on tracking, and forget USPS i've gotten packages before their tracking says it left.

your package probably got from arizona to massachusetts in 3 days by priority because priority is guaranteed 2-3 day shipping... its not like getting there in 3 days is special lol

I've found FedEx to be fastest with anything I order, however they are more expensive than USPS which is almost as fast. I always ship with USPS. I haven't used DHL yet.

Fedex or USPS Priority....reg post office ground is too slow

 

[Starky 10+ year member]

Fedex gets the rep of being expensive....it really isnt that bad...and ground usually takes no more than 4 days

Unless the buyer specifically wants the additional tracking, I almost always use USPS Priority. Gets anywhere in the country in no more than 3 days, and for the same price that UPS/Fed Ex would have cost for their 5 day ground delivery. Sent a package from Indiana to California on a Thursday, and the buyer received it on Monday. UPS would have cost approximately the same, but it wouldn't have been delivered there till 2 days later. Never had anything lost/damaged through them either. But, as mentioned, tracking sucks.
