Rank the shipping services from best to worst? USPS, UPS, DHL, Fedex

<< < (3/5) > >>

I'm in Europe and I have only ordered once with UPS, I didn't have any problems.
but I've heard a lot of negative feedback from them  ;D

For FedEx it's the same, I don't think I had any problems with them.

sworddude:
As long as it arrives with it's contents undamaged you won't hear me complaining.

I've had boxes that arrived half opened but the content was undamaged and it's rare so not to big of a deal

I've even had console boxes used as packaging being delivered raw. They where handled very nicely though so my compliments to the chef.

Overall My country's postal service from my experience does a very excellent job. I'm lucky to not have those postage horror stories like some people online. Some neighboorhoods are worse for postage than others so that's also a factor if where talking Quality.

#1 In my area FedEx is the best . Never had anything broken in their trust , tracking info is good , and their office hours are 9am to 5pm .
#2 Then UPS . Had a few packages misdelivered over the years , more than a few packages beat up badly or broken items inside , good tracking , usually no problems . Office hours are abysmal 4:30pm to 6pm , they're only open to the public for 1.5 hours a day .
#3 Then DHL simply because I've not used them much as we have no DHL office near . They usually use USPS for final delivery here so you end up with a carrier switch-off , tracking is not as good as others as you have to select which service is being used global vs express . Really no reason to use them in my area .
#4 Bringing up the rear USPS is the worst . Let me say first that my current mail dude is the best and never makes mistakes on his end . Office hours are great . The rest , not so great . Things arrive opened sometimes with items missing , smashed , water damaged , etc . Some of this can be chalked up to bad shippers/packaging , but not all of it . Highest chance of getting a damaged item with USPS hands down . Tracking is absolute shite . I've had about 4 things marked delivered that were never delivered to me . Just last week I had a package from ebay shipped through them show as delivered to an undisclosed package locker . I was sitting there as the mailman came by , he dropped some mail and left as usual , the problem was that we don't have lockers in my neighborhood . I had to go down to their office at which point they told me that they had a new employee at the hub scan some packages wrong and that I should receive it that day . They let that wrong tracking info slide without fixing it knowing that there was a problem with it . There's a lot of opportunity for mistakes in their tracking system that you don't see happen with anyone else .

** I also have to add that another negative with UPS last year around the holidays is that they used private contractors to deliver their overflow . Those contractors are basically hobos off the streets with open pick-ups overfilled with packages getting rained and snowed on so lost packages were a problem .

oldgamerz:
Fed Ex lost my address and won't change what someone else changed so everything coming FedEx never comes to my door or mail, I called them? They said someone changed my name to address and they never fixed it. SO I can't order anything through the mail, the police I think know about it, because I never saw a FedEX truck in 8 months in my neighborhood.

That makes no sense whatsoever. That’s not how it works, whoever told you that was full of shit.
