    I send stuff to my nephew in FL all the time and have found the postal system to be cheaper most of the time. UPS is the one I think of for the bigger stuff.

    I use the postal service when I can,fedex second, ups has a reputation for theft as rps used to, my wife used to run a big distribution center near boston for a high end clothing line,she told me firsthand what shes seen, ups and rps got caught untaping and unwrapping pkg jewelry etc,and got caught trying to use the same brand wrapping and tape. it's too bad ,

    USPS, Best Price for the Job. And on alot of the air stuff, fed-ex handles it.


    If the package is not to big, parcel post, takes only 4 days to calif from NY.....

    Bigger packages take time on parcel post, but if you send it priority it is good.


    Also USPS has not broken any of the stuff i have shipped, I have shipped numerous things including very fragile car parts, and they handle them with care.

    I like the regular post office because UPS and Fedex will both abandon packages on my front door, even if I ask for a signiture. Fedex even signed it with a name that dos not live around here just to get rid of it.
    I would rather pick it up at the post office than worry about it. I had to
    make 2 claims in the past year. One package UPS distroyed and one that
    got stolen that DHL left on my front step. Fedex abandoned 1 on the side
    of my house. The Post office is batting 1000.

    Well, simple thing is, UPS is the best at this point UNTIL Fed-Ex pulls their heads outta their rumps and start actually being competition, LOL. DHL could catch up, but that company probably never will catch up and will go under IMHO.

    Well I sent my nephew his Christmas presents and the regular mail sure made a mess of that!.....thank goodness I had insured it. One of the boxes was unwrapped entirely...the postal lady said she found it and figured it went with the other stuff...glad she took the time to make the trip back!....oh well I guess it got there and thats what counts!
