UPS v.s. FedEX v.s. USPS

[BobTacoKing]

I was wondering what different shipping carriers everyone is using these days. There are different arguements about who is cheaper and who offers more support. Personally I am fine with USPS, but are they really the cheapest. :disgust:

FedEx

UPS leaves stuff sitting in peoples yards in the snow. Stuff like monitors.

USPS unless your mailman's a crook who keeps stealing your porn.

USPS. priority mail never fails to deliver in two days ANYWHERE I've shipped in the US.

I've shipped to New Hampshire and New York from California, both of which arrived at the destination in two days. Top notch speed considering how cheap priority mail is.

EDIT: Where's the POLL?!

 

[Shawn]

Everyone knows it's fedex.

 

[czech09]

USPS Priority I see a new one of these threads every week btw what's up with that?...

 

[EyeMWing]

USPS is hawt for sending, USPS or FedEx are hawt for recieving. I know people who work for UPS, they openly talk about abusing packages for fun, and DHL/Airborne is just shitty.

 

[Drakkon]

wheres the poll?

 

[CraigRT]

FedEx for me at least.
then > USPS > crap > dirt > sewage > everything else in the world, ever > UPS

 

[BobTacoKing]

Heres the poll!

 

[Phokus]

UPS sucks. USPS baby!

If your talkign UPS style well...do you truely believe a package is in your city when they say it is? and if so then why doesn't it actually ever get to you till 2 days later :disgust:

Try sending an important document or package using USPS and DC...when you tell your customer that you have DC and no "real " tracking they will not be to happy. ESp if it is lost...

UPS and FedEx tracking is very accurate. All packages are scanned when departing and arriving.

 

[BobTacoKing]

That is true Drakkon, you never know where your package actually is. Looks like UPS is getting smashed!!

 

[cHeeZeFacTory]

DAM UPS sucks. Had a package scheduled for delivery today, it's delayed until monday. I was hoping to play with my new hdtv receiver for the weekend. I asked if I can pick it up myself, and no they can't do that until it goes onto the truck. Grrr.

 

[jEct2]

Fedex screwed up a single order 5 times in a row i ordered someting and wanted it deliever within the week, i got it about 2 months late

 

[MrChad]

There's a reason the business world pays more to use FedEx.

 

[redly]

if it fits in a flat rate Priority Mail envelope..then USPS
after that, fed ex ground, then ups ground

 

[Baked]

Yeah, FedEx is more lax when it comes to picking up your package at the station. If they missed you, you can call them and have them hold it at the station and and you can pick it up after 6PM.

 

[CRXican]

I voted USPS because they're cheap for 2-3 day priority and haven't failed me yet. Next is Fed Ex, then UPS at the bottom.

FedEx > USPS > carrier pigeon > UPS

If you miss UPS you can pick it up from them too after 6PM. I like that FedEx has my signature on file and they will leave the package for me. I never miss one that way.

Most Post Offices close @ 5 or 6PM, and the UPS Store is open till 7PM.

when I ship stuff out, USPS is best for me.. havent shipped big stuff yet.. just small things.

So far, I have been lucky with UPS FEDEX and USPS.. but fedex seems more reliable.. donno why they are actually all same to me.
