    Default Which shipping service do you use for your bussiness

    Lately I have been using USPS ... and it is just one disappointment after another. Going back to UPS. It is obvious why USPS is going out of business. Who do you guys use? Share positive and negative experiences.

    I mainly hate dealing with USPS employees. They are all so slow ... and seem to not care about their job.

    Domestic: UPS Freight. International: depends on size, but USPS or 3rd party containers/air

    I use USPS for some and FedEx for others. Some things aren't mailable and I need to use a contract carrier. FedEx is cheaper and one day faster than UPS.

    This x100. Not even worth the cost savings (if any, pending on details).

    They are unionized government employees. What made you think they would care about their job?

    UPS breaks everything I ship. FVCK them! I got a tour of their warehouse and saw how the package handlers treat the boxes. Not giving them another package. I use USPS for ebay items and FedEx for big items and DHL if it is a document

    I sell stuff on eBay pretty frequently and USPS has been very reliable for me. They've never lost/damaged any of my packages. But I always print the labels online so I don't have to deal with the employees.

    How many things are you shipping? We ship about 150-200 packages a day, with a majority of them going USPS, and we rarely have problems. Although we never deal with the USPS employes since we have a pick-up everyday.

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