UPS's business service has always been good, it's their residential service that's lacking.
Uncle Sam doesn't use USPS? 😕Originally posted by: alent1234
When i worked for uncle sam their fedex rates were half of what you pay at the counter...
it depends
when i worked for a department that was part of DOD as a civilian on a military base they used fedex even though USPS was on base. fedex has pickup and no one wanted to go to the post office and stand in line. i think fedex is also cheaper for overnight stuff and it's guaranteed. USPS has set rates and I don't think they give discounts to anyone.
when i was uniformed military I don't remember using fedex of ups for anything. USPS was used for everything and regulations said that you can use registered mail for sensitive items.
