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

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

The others are not worth the upcharge to me.

Exactly. Zero things lost, period.

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

I only use FedEx for beer.

I dropped off a package at a post office and left it in their bin, has not updated or gotten scanned since 12.30.20.

Had this happen at the PO here in Brooklyn recently. First package never got scanned, 3 months later, buyer hasn't asked about it so I'm assuming it must have shown up somehow. Had another not get any scans for 3 weeks, then suddenly appears in the town it was headed to and delivered that day.

It's wild out there.

Always get a receipt.

What about damage and rough handling tho? Who do you consider most reliable.

USPS far and away the leader in reliability both in regards to delivery time and package handling for me vs UPS. Anyone that sends a tube with UPS has a death wish for its contents. I don't have enough experience with FedEx on either end to form an opinion.

that implies one has the time to wait in line at a post office.

USPS - Package eventually gets there. Has rarely if ever lost a package. Could complain more. But its price can't be beat. i also dont hardcore fault them for any major issues in the last year or so.

UPS - Very overpriced imo. Fairly reliable

Fedex - We use them for my work stuff and reliability can't be beat. But holy fudge they are pricey. occasionally i will use the corporate account to get stuff to and from

thank you for coming to my mail talk.

USPS home pickup is the way to go if it's available to you....my carrier scans on pick up. If I need to go into the PO I'll wait for a scan but I'll only drop retail returns into the bin.

FedEx has been coming up cheaper for me lately, used them a few times with no issue. I really only use UPS for beer if they come up cheaper than FedEx, and that's few and far between.

Be careful with that if you're doing it online since the price they quote may very well not be the price they charge once the item is shipped.

Yeah. At my understaffed PO that would require at least a 30 min wait. drymount that.

Yeah saw they dinged you. Did it just show up as a charge or did you get notified through email/text etc?

It was through Ebay so I didn't know until I checked my shipping labels there. Cotis clued me into it happening to him, which made me check. If you're doing it through Fedex online directly, you should probably check your next statement after printing the label(s) to make sure the charges are all accurate.
