USPS priority because it's fastest

Haha well from experience I've learned that anything under about 2lbs is cheaper to ship USPS... Anything over, ship FedEx or UPS.

Cost is not the concern as much as dependability/speed.  Looks like you guys like USPS. That's fine with me.

I sent adco a barrel and brake to be pinned last year and used USPS priority. I sent it on a Thursday and had it back in my hands the following Wednesday.

If you were in the upper mid-west, I'd say Spee-Dee.

Way cheaper than the others. But has to ship to and from their 7 state area.

You are probably talking about a few dollars difference between USPS and UPS or FedEx. I wouldn't send anything I cared about through USPS. If dependability is your top priority, use UPS or FedEx.

i ship most of my stuff through USPS, barrels, upper receivers and whatever else. haven't had any problems but once, it took 2 weeks for a 3 day delievery. seems like that one barrel fell off the conveyor system somewhere and didn't get moving again for a week or so.LOL  i trust them!

I hear ya...I'm a packaging engineer honestly. They're all about the same as far as reliability but if it were down to the wire...USPS is prob my least favorite, Fedex being my most confident. Have sent things damaged through UPS..and parts delivered to the wrong address with USPS

USPS just lost one of my packages.  Never made it to the sorting facility. It's has been 3 weeks since it was supposed to have delivered, they keep saying, we'll have to wait and see.  Minimum of 30 days before ANY action can be taken.
