USPS Priority Mail

ckoffend,
You seem to have an ideology rather than a fair evaluation of reality.
UPS, Fedex, and DHL treat their workers like shit and the workers know that their jobs depend on ass-kissing and not performance.
If you don't like people who work for the government, next time you're mugged, call a private detective.

i've had fedex damage a package. i've never had usps damage anything. my only qualm with priority mail is it's quite pricey for very heavy items, but you get what you pay for.

A few months ago I mailed a package to Brooklyn using USPS Priority Mail Signature required.

The day of delivery my customer called and was upset the package was left on his front porch. To make a long story short, after a number of conversations with the local Brooklyn postmaster I was told there was nothing I could do and the signature fee was not reimbursible. The delivery employee is not subject to any discipline.

I doubt this would ever occur with UPS and/or FedEx.
