Which courier do you prefer?

My favorite domestic courier is "USPS Priority".

It is not very expensive but deliver within 2 days on Conus.

But I am being puzzled by Fedex.

One of my audio parts was supposed to arrive at my home on 14th Thursday after shipping from Chicago on 8th, Friday.

But it was delayed by snow storm.

I could understand that.

But after arriving Burlington WA (8 miles from my home) on 15th Friday, it is missing in action.

When I checked tracking, it showed "delivery pending" for 5 days.

Do you also have bad experience with Fedex?

USPS Priority was on time on my address all the time.

But this time I am getting terrible experience with Fedex.

The package arrived within 8 miles of my address 5 days ago, but no delivery date yet.

I just got the following response but no use.

 Hi, Thomas! We are sorry for the delay with your shipment. Let me track the status of your package to check what happened.
( 7m 52s ) I deeply regret the inconvenience this has caused you.
( 7m 59s ) : I am very sorry that this happened to your most awaited package.

At my address, USPS priority is the best, UPS the second, Fedex (has been almost same as UPS but this time I am fed up with it).

DHL erratic sometimes very fast sometimes not.

I agree with you that USPS is underrated.

They are doing nice jobs.

What a mess on South East of Conus!

I do not have such bad experience in Washington State so far except some unexpected delay.

I received the package through Fedex 10 minutes ago.

It arrived within 8 miles of my home on last Friday, but got delivered today.

So far more than two thirds of the opinion favor USPS.

Good for them.

But there may be lot of differences depending on region.

I myself had not much problem with all three of them until recent delay by Fedex.
