USPS has been very reliable to me as both a buyer and seller. I have an excellent post office with their current staff, so that always helps.
Fed Ex is very reliable but often slower than expected. Never trust their tracking estimates (in my experience); it takes 4-5 days to move through Connecticut for some reason, but they will clear the entire midwest in a day or 2 (I realize the latter may be air travel, but Connecticut can be traveled through in a couple of hours on land and a stop at a distribution center shouldn't take multiple days). They also have a nice staff at the center near me.
UPS I've mainly shipped through for returns to major companies and it seems to work well. Their staff is nice at the center near me as well. They deliver without issue here, but I've rarely had interactions with receiving things from them outside of major companies.
Luckily I have a safe neighborhood, so packages are never stolen and if something is delivered to the wrong address the neighbor will hand it to me in person.
