Ups Reply #2 – February 20, 2007, 08:42:30 PM Fred & Earls Express is just as bad. Stick to the postal service. Yeah, they suck too, but it's a gov't agency, you expect that out of them. Quote Selected
Ups Reply #4 – February 21, 2007, 11:04:52 PM Once UPS lost a package from a company I worked for... showed a signature for it and swore delivery. Customer denied recieving it.One year later package was returned by a company friend whose friend found it along side... the railroad tracks less than 100 miles from the factory.___________________________Murphy was an optimist Quote Selected
Ups Reply #6 – February 22, 2007, 12:15:34 AM 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. Quote Selected
Ups Reply #8 – March 07, 2007, 10:00:02 PM Not a big fan of UPS. I have found that they are the most expensive carrier and not all that fast. And they don't have that many locations either. Their tracking system is ok. I tend to get a lot of error messages from them though.FedEx isn't that great either, but their prices are fair and shipping is decent. Middle of the road. And since they merged with Kinkos, finding one is pretty easy. Shipping from a FedEx facility absolutely sucks! Never ever ever, go in there during Lunch or after work. Tracking is sometimes spotty, but taking into account of the overall volume of packages I recieve through them it's pretty good. DHL is great receiving wise, but I can never find an facility to ship from. Tracking seems to be up to date whenever I check too. I have very little experience shipping with them. And there's the USPS. Slow as all hell, both shipping wise and just standing in line. I dread going to the Post Office.... especially around the holidays. But they are the cheapest... usually. And they deliver on Saturdays. And the only way to ship across the border. But their tracking system is border lining uselessness. It's a waste of money IMO.So here's how I'd rank them (I terms of shipping):FedExUSPSDHLUPS Quote Selected
Ups Reply #9 – March 07, 2007, 10:50:41 PM Quote from: Ether947;133121FedExUSPSDHLUPSGood buttstuffysis - I personally would move USPS below DHL. The low cost doesn't offset the non-existent tracking, ultra-slow delivery (up to TWO weeks!) and the two times they destroyed a package of mine and wouldn't pay even though it was insured. The local people who work there are really gruff jerks too, so I have some issues with USPS. Quote Selected
Ups Reply #10 – March 07, 2007, 11:01:24 PM I used to work for UPS for about a month unloading and loading the semi trucks. THEY FORCED ME TO STAND UP ON TOP OF BOXES to get other boxes. You wouldn't believe how many computers and tvs get sent ups ground. I STOOD ON TOP OF THOSE BOXES!! Couple times I have had the computers fall out of the dell boxes. We just grabbed tape and taped it back together. They forced us to go sooo fast unloading that I was basically throwing shiznit around just to keep up with time.Basically everything is thrown into the back of the truck usually with no order and stuff that is small sits under large stuff. It's crazy. The job sucked and was bad on the back since you never had the time to bend and swoop correctly. I had to go balls to the wall for 5 hours. F that.Then those f'ers still haven't paid me. It's been since last August-September. They said I cashed the check but never received it. wtf. I'm still fighting that too.F UPS! Quote Selected
