To ship or not to ship during the Holidays???


I'm closing a deal for some amps and speakers for my HT, when the thought came to me of the long lines and overly crowded UPS/USPS drop offs. The huge piles of packages awaiting shipment.....

I'm wondering if I should just wait another two weeks to have them shipped, when the load on carriers is lower, or will it matter? I guess I'm worried about rougher handling, more likely drops/damages etc..

I've certainly had my share of packages damaged in shipping, many during the holidays, but I usually ship more then too, so....

To ship or Not to ship....... THIS is the question!

go with Fed-X ground - NEVER ship UPS. Haven't you read all the horror stories? If you ship UPS you deserve damaged merchandise because you're just begging for it!
This isn't a question of WHO to ship with, those where only examples. I think the rush of packages happens to everyone!

(Even Fed Ex!)
I just had a package sent from Boston xpress mail on Friday. It arrived here in Guam yesterday.
I,ve found USPS xpress mail has gotten better in the last month. If your shipping within the US do it now.
