I try to watch out for how they ship, also.
UPS = Fantastic.
USPS = Usually ok
DHL = only once, but first rate
Airborne = 50/50

FedEx = I've got a hundred horror stories.

I have never had a problem with Fedex once they actually had the package, but their scheduled pickup service has burned me often enough that I use them only when I have a prepaid shipping tag from a vendor.

It's nice to see that other people here have that same attitude for these people.

When shipping from an established business there have been no problems with those things I've had shipped.

It's those things that I've had shipped "overnight" via those God damned Kinkos that makes my trigger finger twitch.

Not only do they charge a small fortune for the most basic things there, they often f**k the order up even when the forms are filled out correctly and completely.

It's true that the demand for overseas deliveries is not all that great in from those places but I ship international often. I know what has to be done more than they do many times.

Fedx makes me pick up the phone and chase things so often, they are at the bottom of the list of shippers.

UPS is the best IMO. Once I leave the UPS Store....there have been zero problems.
