I have been using UPS, but their rates seem to have gone up. I tried FedEx and that was even worse. Anyone tried DHL? What about good ol's USPS?

Not for priority mail when it gets over about 3 lbs. I usually use FedEx 3-day or Ground. Their tracking kicks UPS' and USPS' asses.

just a for instance. I sent out 2 motherboards. One via fedex to cali, the other via UPS to CT. Fedex cost me $16, UPS cost me $10. I live in MI, so I can see the one going to CT costing a little less, but $6?

We need some opinions on USPS in here!

I highly recommend FedEx Ground.

They're much easier on packages than my local UPS, they're cheaper than UPS.

They're better than USPS because you've already got insurance (up to $100) and you've got a tracking number.

UPS if I need it there in a few days, FedEx if I need it there tommorrow, and USPS if I dont need it/want it broken/like to waste time and money.
