Screw UPS (as I'm sure Thunder chicken and all others north of the boarder agree) as we get screwed with brokerages fees of about $100 on every item we order off ebay!!! 

I always use USPS / Canada Post.  That or have items shipped to a friend in Warroad Mn, and drive south to pick up the goods and bring them across the "border" myself.

DHL is great.  I've never sent anything with them, but everything I receive through them is amazingly fast, and the tracking system actually shows more than just "we have your stuff" that USPS and UPS seem to show for me.

always had a great experience getting packages through DHL never shipped anything.

ditto on ups, they realy suck balls. they used to be okay. i dont know what happned. i wont ship ups unless someone asks for it or if the item is on the heavy side or large. either way id prefer fed x for those but theres no place to drop em off here and its a pain to have them pick up. ups has left beat up packages plenty of times, they way overcharge now-a-days, and the drivers are lazy. they have left packages in the rain because they didnt want to take a few extra steps and put it on the porch. luckily it wasnt anything rain coulddamage. ive never claimed anything through them though
 
i have received stuff from dhl and have no complaints.
 
i generally use usps. ive never had a package lost, destroyed etc and the rates are fair. plus the girl at the local post office is realy hot. lines are always short if there is even is one. i live in a small town though. usps priority 2-3 (or is it 3-4 day) is tough to beat. ive never been dissapointed.

If I were ultra rich,I would deliver myself.Then,I'd get to meet everyone here in person,nice scenery while driving,and plenty of fresh air,plus,the added bonus of not having to deal with those freaks.I had two e-mails today from two E-Bay members who hadn't recieved their packages yet (itms bought from me),and I had to opologize and explain that they were sent,and as soon as I handed them the package and left the building,it was totallt out of my hands.Ironically,the two packages that haven't been recieved were the only two of 11 that I let them package.I did the rest myself.

If it's any consolation, Vinnie, like I told you before... the 80lb box of goodies you sent me via UPS arrived with only one minor casualty... one of the mounting ears was busted off the MAP sensor... which is really a non-issue.

i only use fedex ground for my shipping. i have a fedex office 5 minutes from my house. they have never lost or broken anything i've shipped with them, and i've probably shipped over 200 packages.

Hey Brian,need another one?By the way,let me know when your new package arrives.I actually have no idea how she packed it.I handed her the stuff,she took it away,and a few minutes later I saw a box.

Oh,one more thing.Brian,when I sent the fuel linwes seperately,they charged me somewhere around $35 or $40 dollars.The screwed me there.They said they had to charge for a larger size to ship it.I've sent larger for less.They really need to apply some Chapstick and get their lips real soft so they can kiss my a$$.
