while many prefer fedex, they can misdeliver and even not be able to find your address and say "wrong address" on your tracking! ups at times are slow to deliver like after 7pm wtf? and occasional forgets to put your package out for delivery, so it would be "left at facility" on your tracking. ups is funny but so is fedex, no matter how many times I sign the slip to have my signature waived, they would still require me to sign my name on the next delivery! I can't say I prefer ups or fedex cuz they both suck in some ways, its like 2 bad apples.

I prefer FedEx. They've ok service and cheaper than UPS.

UPS is good if you have a corporate account with daily pickup though. It's a PITA for individuals to ship UPS.

I think you have it backwards... FedEx won't take shipments from individuals... THey won't even let me set up an account. UPS will pick up from my home, I can drop it off, they send me free packing stuff all the time. I like UPS.

You know how much that cost when you don't have enough volume to have a "daily pickup" account? I know its more than I'm willing to pay.

It's $2.50 for me...

Since I am a NASCAR fan I would have to go with UPS... They spend millions of dollars on my favorite sport and the least I can do is go with them over anyone else... Plus they have the funniest commercials with Dale Jarrett.

FedEx's commercial saying they will deliver the packages when it is most convenient to the customer and that they will be on time, is a complete lie. I wonder why this isn't considered false advertising. Although, the people I talk to on the phone are always nice.

That's funny :D

My UPS driver handles the heavy stuff with much greater care. He has been on my route for five years.

FedEx seems to have a new, young, weak trainee every month. This may not be true for you but it is for me.

I'm hopin' FedEx since i'm expectin a NewEgg order today :)

But I only use UPS to ship since there's a customer drop-off close by. The new shippin method they recently implemented is nice.

My Creative Gigaworks nearly killed the FedEx man... Things must have weighed 120lbs in the box, it was crazy.
