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?

IMHO. I think USPS gets a bad rap. In general terms, they have been very reliable.

Don't forget UPS's horrible reputation for not paying claims. Almost all claims will be denied at first and you will have to fight them to the end to get them to pay. I'm talking even about original packing/ boxes and packing that meets their online requirements. 
I love the one where UPS says "Oh you brought it to a UPS store for them to pack it, sorry, they are not UPS so we can't honor the insurance you paid"  I would never bring it to a UPS store for packing anyway, they are clueless.

I've lived all over the world . Believe me , the USPS is the best postal service in the world .
The German post was once a bit even better but about 15 years ago they privatized it and it's now one of the worst .
Another thing you can believe is the powers that be are going to do the same thing to the USPS .
Pensions  for workers is a deadly sin to our elites .

You mean parasites by saying "elites".

I received the package through Fedex 10 minutes ago.

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