Which courier do you prefer?

I agree with you that USPS is underrated.

They are doing nice jobs.

I had a Teeter Inversion table delivered via FedEx about 2 months ago.  The heavy duty cardboard box was busted open in two spots.  You could easily see the product inside.  The packing straps were still intact. Before I even touched that carton I took pics of all the damage just in case I had to file for damages.  Lucky for me only the carton was toast.

Do you also have bad experience with Fedex?

Quite the opposite. I've only had a couple bad experiences with Fed Ex, but I refuse to use UPS for equipment anymore. 

The worst Fed Ex has done was break a large tree branch when backing up my driveway. The driver didn't bother to say anything. They manage to get all my packages to me in acceptable shape - no large tears or dents. In contrast, almost every package I receive from UPS looks like it came from a war zone. I know of two audio dealers who quit using them for that reason. 

Music Direct is the largest retailer of audiophile gear and not surprisingly, they use Fed Ex.

UPS story. True, I was there. OK at the main UPS terminal to ship an item. Waiting in line.. A UPS employee bumps open the swinging door with a cart. On the cart a very large box. At least 3 feet each way, maybe a foot taller and wider one way. Anyway the package does not fit as it sits on the cart. Maybe if he would have rotated it???
it is clearly wider than the door by at least two inchs. Well the guy backs up and starts slamming the package into the door frame.. trying to get it through.... Over and over... Wham Wham Wham Oblivious to all of us in line...
Then the owner of the box walks in.. Fireworks. I do not know the final outcome, as I shipped my package and left.               
To me. Fed Ex Air freight was always the premium best carrier. Cost a lot but it was the best. When Fed Ex Ground started it sucked. And did for a long time. But the past few years it is much better. I like USPS for Amazon, since they always leave the package. Where UPS and FedEx will LIE and in the tracking webpage say they tried to leave it..Liars..just stinkin’ liars.

FedEx overnight works like a clock. Cost is a consideration.
