Which courier do you prefer?

My favorite domestic courier is "USPS Priority".

It is not very expensive but deliver within 2 days on Conus.

But I am being puzzled by Fedex.

One of my audio parts was supposed to arrive at my home on 14th Thursday after shipping from Chicago on 8th, Friday.

But it was delayed by snow storm.

I could understand that.

But after arriving Burlington WA (8 miles from my home) on 15th Friday, it is missing in action.

When I checked tracking, it showed "delivery pending" for 5 days.

Do you also have bad experience with Fedex?

Here’s my criteria: For shipping as seller and buyer, I want hassle free, no damage. Shipping speed isn’t a big concern. Cost is secondary. And if there is any damage, pay up.

For shipping from U.S:
1) <any location> USPS is unbeatable. Rarely breaks anything - always pay up without hassle.

2) <domestic only> UPS is great if and only if you pack the way you’re supposed to (check their guidelines) or you hire UPS Store to pack it for you (always pay up).

I would never use FedEx nor FedEx Ground. Damage many of my stuff. Never paid up a single penny. One time, the damage return FedEx guy picked up an GOOD package I just received at my door, claimed no damage seen, then damage it when it was returned to me. No apology. No insurance pay.



For shipping from international:
1) DHL Express and DHL Packet. The one and only. Wouldn’t trust anybody else.
