For me, if something is shipped from the West coast by Express saver, I usually get it a day early (really good for newegg/chiefvalue orders). For the east coast, I sometimes get it 1 day early. 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...

i got it on the expected date. however, i did order at 5pm last friday, and it was shipped on friday, which is pretty good.

I almost always get it early.

in my experience Fedex>UPS

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.

A day early EVERY time with Express. Ground sits on it.

UPS does, FedEx doesn't (unfortunately).
