I thought I'd take a nef.... er poll on what people's favorite package carrier is?

Mine by far is Fedex. Noone can touch Fedex. Great rates and wicked fast shipping.
By example ordered memory for my notebook from crucial yesterday with free 2nd day air.
Checked the tracking # today, thing is already on the truck, will be here in about an hour.

On the other hand the postal service is on my sh|+list. Second to last thing they did was destroy a rare figurine that my mother-in-law was shipping to my wife. Now I ordered a alpha 8045 and it was shipped 2-3 day priority monday December 3rd from california. It's sitting somewhere in Pennsylvania now. May not even get here this week.

Ups is ok, but has been annoying at times...

Never a problem with USPS or UPS. And only once had a problem with FedEx.

I guess I've been lucky.

USPS is good if you don't mind possibly having a delay.

UPS Sucks! Fedex is great. I haven't had a problem with them yet. In general, I like their delivery men more too.

For receiving packages, my preferences are FedEx in a narrow victory over the USPS. For sending, it always goes out USPS unless i'm asked to use another carrier. I wouldn't use UPS if their shipping was free, and i get irate when someone sends me something using their service.

Never UPS.
I use FedEx mostly.
However, lately I've started using USPS - can't beat the prices and everything I've sent priority between major cities has arrived within 2 days. I'll be using them more.

Fedex would definitely be my carrier of choice....but they are more expensive.

UPS is ok, had a few minor problems....no disaters though

USPS is a nightmare

I recieved a package from the post office that was not only squashed, but was wet and had been run through some mud (at least i hope it was mud)... FEDEX delivered a package from newegg.com that was halfway drenched with water. CDRW, Motherboard, and Video Card were DOA (i had to dry them off it was so bad)...

So im stickin with UPS, no problems as of yet.. :)

FedEx has always been very good to me. I ordered from Crucial Sunday late night and it arrived today (Tuesday) in perfect condition. Most of the stuff I get from UPS is usually a few days late. Only time they ever damaged something was when I got my case. The package was a little messed up and it had a small dent in the side. AirBorn is pretty good most of the time and so is USPS.
