Thread: Which shipping service do you use for your bussiness

Small packages i use UPS
I've use DHL and FedEx

I prefer FedEx I get the packages in one piece. UPS has more case of damages.

Larger items I use freight companies. Bullet Freight is very clean and reliable

Fedex for everything!
USPS is a failure.

Only the larger packages are sent UPS, and we've never had a problem with that either.

About 1 a week. Most of what I ship out is next day contracts and money. The USPS guys forgot to put my package in the PO box. The recipient found out that they forgot to do this for 3 days when he asked the manager.

About 2 weeks ago ... USPS let a security guard sign for the package. It took the recipient 2 weeks to figure out that the security guard had signed for the package.

I started using USPS so I did not have to go to the UPS store every time I had to deposit a package. One of the worst business decisions I have made.

We never ship... let's say "valuable items". We usually ship keys and an assortment of documents through the USPS. It's inexpensive and I've never heard any complaints from the sub-contractors I send them to.

anyone have any recomendations to ship something fairly large. about 100 lbs and pretty large. im not sure if fedex/usps can do this or if i need to use a commercial shipping solution.

Fed _ex for sure...USPS sucks

Contact UPS. I think they will do it.
