UPS never delivers early to me. They will let my package wait in the facility until the delivery date. =(


What he sez...;) UPS sucks and is regularly shamed by FedEx on this issue as I've had them sit on a package for four days when it was right here in town...

Whenever I order from NewEgg, FedEx always delivers a day early.

I have an IBM ThinkPad R40 coming though, and UPS is taking its sweet time with that.

FedEx > UPS

Generally speaking, I've noticed for both Fedex and UPS that if I have something delivered to my office I often get it early or at worst, on time.

But if I have something delivered to my home address, I will only receive it on time at the earliest and occasionlly receive it late.

Whenever possible, I have stuff shipped to my office now.

Fedex usually gets my package a day or two early and hold onto it.

"Package not due for delivery". Woot.
