Dam Joo Fedex!

[derf]

Seriously I hate fedex. I went on a little shopping spree this week and bought some bike parts and a textile suit. Bike parts shipped via fedex from WV have a delivery date of 5 Oct, The suit shipped via UPS from WY has a delivery date of 29 Sep. Both orders were placed within an hour of each other, both were for ground shipping.

How in the hell is fedex 5 days slower in less than 1/2 the distance?

Honestly, I usually have the opposite experience. Fedex has never lost one of my packages, abd they always beat their "estimated delivery date". UPS I've had a few issues with, and USPS is the bane of my fucking existance.

I've never had an issue with either of them. Both seem to be about the same shipping time for me. Though, I prefer USPS Priority mail. It's the fastest, and usually the cheapest.

This has been my experience as well.

Agreed. I've always had good experiences with both UPS and Fedex.

USPS has been okay but when I had some EMT pants that I needed in Savannah pronto it not only took the company a bagillion years to get the shit, it took forever for USPS to get it shipped. The package went all around the US except for Savannah despite it made a pass by Savannah from Jacksonville despite again that it came from Ohio (or Michigan, I can't remember).

UPS FTW!!!
