I just filed a PayPal claim for a print I bought from France in early October. It hasn't had shipping updated since 10/9. If it shows up I will pay the guy. This was a replacement print from one I bought in August. That one was shipped in a triangle box and arrived utterly destroyed. If I had half a brain I would have just taken a refund at that point. He blamed the packaging on his "brother."

I shipped a package to Dubai back at the end of November. It had no scans after some point when it hit LA a couple days later. Buyer kept letting me know it hadn't arrived but was being patient. She asked for a refund this past Saturday. fudge showed up on Monday. We'll see if I get my money or prints back. Luls.

Oof.

I had switched to Fedex, but promptly got off that wagon after being overcharged to the tune of almost $100 total on 2 fuggin labels. #deviluknow

Personally, I will never buy anything (knowingly) if USP is the only shipping option.

I always stay well clear of UPS. I have used FedEx for a couple of things recently but USPS has been moving along fairly quickly recently. Maybe 2-3 day delays. I do have an international tube that has been in transit since the end of Dec. but at least it has updated recently.

My specific complaints aside, USPS still delivers 95% of what I send on time

drymount FedEx. Around here they are atrocious. They will scan and say they "attempted delivery" when they really didn't and are also notorious for delivering packages to incorrect addresses. Me and the wife alone have had numerous occasions of this happening. Friends and family too. I live in a neighborhood about 5 miles from town and they once delivered a package of mine to Allstate Insurance in town. Luckily I went to highschool with the owner and he contacted me to let me know he had it. The only thing similar about our addresses is that they both have a 1 in them, lol. Either the drivers are lazy AF or don't give a fudge, maybe a combination of both.

Agreed. Plus, they have never lost something I've shipped.

The others are not worth the upcharge to me.
