what shipping company do you prefer DHL, UPS, FEDEX (fastest)

 

I prefer the post office but if I had to choose from your selections...UPS.

 

ups is usually more expensive than fedex, i usually go with post office if its regular small stuff. if not, fedex.

 

I don't prefer UPS over Fedex, however, Fedex has a positive because they deliver on Saturdays standard, but have a negative because since they deliver on Saturdays, they don't deliver on Mondays (for Ground), UPS, doesn't deliver on Saturdays unless you pay extra. DHL takes an extra day for the basic service because instead of delivering it to your house/apartment themselves, they deliver to the post office and then you get it via post office the following day which drives me crazy knowing that I could have my package and have to wait....especially if it comes in on Saturday, but you don't get it until Monday since the post office is closed on Sundays. I think FedEX is a little cheaper and a little faster, at least getting things to St Louis, so if I had to pick, I would pick FedEX.

You might want to set a poll up so people can just vote :D

 

FedEx

 

USPS for smalls and FedEx for large stuff like tool boxes or tires/rims. Yes, I've shipped Kennedy tool boxes and vintage L60-15 Polyglas tires!

UPS is way too much for smalls and slightly more than FedEx for bulky items.

 

I've worked for UPS for years and generally I ship my stuff with them. Not because I get a discount or anything, just because its easier for me. Fedex used to be a lot cheaper, but its gone up a lot in the last few years. Also, we break a lot of stuff but dont lose things too often. I dont know how much stuff Fedex breaks, but they lose a lot. UPS is a union company, while Fedex has gone to great pains to keep the union out, so if nothing else thats a good reason to ship with UPS.

 

Fedex, I used to work for UPS.

 

Fedex here.

 

dhl 10 times faster then both

 

UPS dents and crushes most of my stuff.

 

depends on the item.

but i like UPS better cause it doesnt come so late at night

 

UPS FTL! they "lost and couldnt locate" my cellphone twice! and they lie so i hate them.

 

Fedex decided to drop my train horn off at the wrong address and when i tried to get them to pay for their mistake they came back and said

sorry we cant do anything about it because the shipper did not specify the price of the item upon shipping...

I paid with paypal and have a receipt with tracking number and they still wont do anything...all i got to say is SHIPPER BEWARE!!!

 

DHL takes forever you get what you pay for. The other two are a toss up but pricewise I'd have to pick Fed ex.

 

USPS!

 

fedex. usually the box looks like new. UPS the box looks like it's been around the world twice and it's usually opened....

 

Actually let me rephrase my post.

Fedex, if I want something to be shipped reliably
UPS, if I want something return under warranty and broken so I can get a check to upgrade the part going for service (worked 4 times for me, Haha)
USPS, for shipping on Ebay, because it's insanely cheap compared to Fedex/UPS
DHL, rofl, no thanks.

 

i'm a little biased since I work for Fedex

I say Fed Ex Express is good.
FedEx Ground / home delivery sucks !

When dropping off a package they come up to my door faintly knock and if I do not answer with in 5 seconds they leave a prefilled pout note saying business is closed will drop off at another date. Which is usually later in the week.

I am not making this up either. i caught them doing this 2 out of the three times. I had to run own to the truck and stop the driver before they pulled off.

This has happened to me at least three or more different times and that was only this past month. Thats not including 2007 lol



ups is second but not by much. i like ups because they just drop your stuff off and go. The only bad thing about them is they come so late to my house. its usually like 5 pm or later.


Dhl seems to be okish at best. I have not had to many troubles with them .


USPS FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Not once but twice. They lost my packages and then all of a sudden a month and a half later they arrived. That was teh first package.

the second package was marked for return to sender. Even though the mail carrier had not made any attempt to deliver that package at all! they still marked it return to sender! I sadly do wish i was joking about these things.


Anyway I could go on for hours with all sorts of stupid stories. it just annoys me how these companies loose packages so easily. I am still baffled as to how they do loose them so easily. Guess that is one of liefs great mysteries. lol

 

USPS sucks....a month ago my brother mailed a tool from USPS mailing services and then the reviver contaced me that the tool was missing (the package was torn apart and the someone took the tool out but other stuff was in their.
