My UPS guy told me if I had something small or light to send to use the USPS to prevent myself from getting raped.

FedEx is better.
Your stuff is subject to be stolen at the Post Office. I know, I work there. 20 of my coworkers have been arrested for stealing. FedEx is better. |

FedEx get's my vote I just received 3 packages of gun books that had been laying out in the rain for a day and a half! UPS just puts them anywhere! It's a damned Easter egg hunt anymore! Luckily one of the boksellers is filing a claim and I get my money back!

You pay through the nose for all the extra services, such as on-line tracking across intl. borders, use of forwarders, delivery commitments, etc. The extra service is worth it for overseas shipments, but for low-priority items of low value to Canada/Mexico, don't bother. For shirts, USPS is fine. If you must have it delivered by a certain date, FedEx, Airborne, and DHL are better.
It's true UPS and USPS lose parcels, but they do have a lot of volumn. FedEx losses packages as well, but since their volumn is lower, you don't see it as much overall. But FedEx has one hell of a tracking system. UPS is still trying to catch up. Watch out for multi-package COD shipments. To save money, some shippers only place COD on the first box. When the shipment reaches the consignee, he accepts everything but the COD box, and you're out the money. The only reason I know this stuff is because I'm in the logistics software business. |

Rumor has it we have to pay extra (2nd day air) due to UPS's inability to control employee theft...post office bad too big metro main post offices are hi crime areas themselves...Fed Ex has my vote

Last time I was at my local post office I noticed the sign (inside, btw) stating that it was illegal to have a firearm there. So does that count if it's inside a package?
gotta love these laws. |

Phil.. it wasn't going to California. It crossed the border into the Great White North.
If you look at my post you will notice there is no US after the CA. I love my snow storms to much to move to Calif.[;)] |
