Which courier do you prefer?


My favorite domestic courier is "USPS Priority".

It is not very expensive but deliver within 2 days on Conus.

But I am being puzzled by Fedex.

One of my audio parts was supposed to arrive at my home on 14th Thursday after shipping from Chicago on 8th, Friday.

But it was delayed by snow storm.

I could understand that.

But after arriving Burlington WA (8 miles from my home) on 15th Friday, it is missing in action.

When I checked tracking, it showed "delivery pending" for 5 days.

Do you also have bad experience with Fedex?

I've lived all over the world . Believe me , the USPS is the best postal service in the world .
The German post was once a bit even better but about 15 years ago they privatized it and it's now one of the worst .
Another thing you can believe is the powers that be are going to do the same thing to the USPS .
Pensions  for workers is a deadly sin to our elites .
I received the package through Fedex 10 minutes ago.

It arrived within 8 miles of my home on last Friday, but got delivered today.
All three carriers are subject to under-delivering on service. Bad pun intended. Since moving to the Southeast:

 

  1. The USPS is the least offender. My favorite though is when the carrier blows off the day and marks my package (out for delivery that day) as “undeliverable, business closed.” It was raining lightly…and yes, we live in a single family detached home.
  2. UPS: Arrogant (insert questionable language here). Calling their customer service for a recently lost package was like reading a sign that says: “bang head here.”
  3. FedEx: Absolutely the worst on the planet, bar none. Arrogant and idiots. Their favorite trick is to reroute our package (90% of the time) to a similar address in a different city, six miles away. True statement. Makes sense that we don’t know our own address. That certain place where none of us want to end up will freeze over before I ever use them to send or receive anything again.

 

In fairness after living most of my life on the West Coast, delivery from all three carriers was almost always positive and therefore taken for granted.

What a mess on South East of Conus!

I do not have such bad experience in Washington State so far except some unexpected delay.
