Next Day Air... which service ?

[rh71]

Company's paying for it, so price isnt' a big concern - just the dependability...

 

[nicowju]

I've had good experiences with Airborne and FedEx. So I'll go with those. But I voted "Results?"

 

[radioouman]

Fedex is my favorite, but if Airborne is an option, that will be good too. (My wife's parents work for Airborne.)

 

[dartworth]

FedEx or Airborne. Price is no concern...FedEx it.

 

[nicowju]

noticing a trend here... no UPS

Alright, if its something thats breakable go with Aiborne, if its not breakable go with UPS.

 

[dartworth]

I have nothing against UPS. I've never used UPS for overnight. I do use them for shipping ground all the time.

The FedEx Ground depot by me is full of idiots and will never get any business from me.

:Q the package will be a CDR ... hope those bubbled mail envelopes are good enough for it.

FedEx r0x0rZ...I just sent a confidential report last night around 8PM (from Charlotte) and I sent it 'First Overnight'...them mofos were tryin to deliver at 7:30 in the morning, and since I didn't sign the release form (this needs specific signature) they wouldn't drop it off with just anyone. They'll deliver it by 10:30 or I'm not paying for it!

They also have the most detailed tracking info:

Slide a sheet of cardboard down in the package on both sides of the cdr. Should help out.

Fedex it is... $20 - in the hands of San Jose people (from NY) by 1030am tomorrow... and they thought the Internet was amazing...

 

Go with USPS...Express Mail is great, and they automatically deliver on Saturday. But I see you've already made your decision, so forget it.

airborne

 

[Hammer]

fedex, followed by airborne, then usps express mail. dead last is ups.

 

[Acts837]

depends on proximity to hubs also. I hate getting overnight FedEx packages at my house because their office is so far away.
