If I'm using something other than USPS (for larger items), I use DHL, cheaper than both FedEx and UPS. I got a price quote for a 75Lbs box, fairly large. UPS was $68 or something, FedEx was $60, and DHL was $46 WITH insurance. Guy got the item a day before estimated delivery, and packaging (outer box), was in great shape still.

Yeah I had a bumper and fender shipped to my house and it only costed like $40 for both of them. The DHL people can never find my house since i live way out in the middle of nowhere. They call me and ask for directions then they say they will be there the next day. They are still pretty quick tho. When ever they call for directions, seems like the "operator" is working out of a house or something cuz I can always here kids or pets in the background.

The past three times I order something of the ebay the seller shipped it out priority mail and sent me the confirmation number. I ordered something that came from cali and it took 10 business days to get here, while priority mail is supposed to be 2-3 days isn't it?It was shipped priority mail and it was shipped on the date the seller said. last tuesday I ordered a radar detector off ebay, and it was shipped out the next day, and a week and a day later I still have not received it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

I got stuff from Hong Kong quicker than this!

i'm a letter carrier and can tell you not to believe the seller's so called ship date,just because you get a conf. number dont mean he actually mailed the shittt ,he may have created the label on 1 day and mailed it days later

anything lighter then 10pounds goes to usps priority and anything heavier goes to fedex. ive never had a problem or complaint with usps priority. everyone usually loves the super fast shipping.

USPS has failed me numerous times on both ends. FedEx for dailys and they have had an Excellent track record. More expensive UPS has been less than stellar and DHL 50/50.

No radar detector today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I asked the seller when it was shipped he said 9/6 and I paid on the 5th. Auction said all items are shipped out within 24 hours, so I dunno. It seems like whenever I order something for myself and really want it fast it takes forever, but when I order something for someone else and I don't care if it ever gets there or not it comes early.

still no detector. Luckily the seller is nice enough to send out another detector. He said he would ship it out today or tomorrow. I think the replacement might actually be a little better than the original.
