Which courier do you like the most?

Like the Title says

For me...DHL delivers the fastest....and it's in the morning (unlike the others that come after 1 p.m.)

UPS - decent customer service. "ususally" good with not losing the package. once you know the timing of their system it usually works out.
FedEx - better customer service...seems to be more organized. they have a size limit that's smaller than UPS. price seems to be the highest.
FedEx Ground - (formerly RPS?) you're treated as a second rate citizen at fedex..have strict dropoff times but their rates are usually the best.
DHL/Airborne - service is hit or miss...2 occasions they lost my packages. they seem to be a newbie in the market and might not know all the delivery routes and places to drop packages off.
Greyhound - will deliver large items within reasonable prices. you need to pick up your item at the local greyhound station. works out if it's something you don't mind getting tossed around.

keep in mind...if your driver leaves the box or not..that's determined by the shipper and how responsible is your driver. if the shipper checks "signature required" then they must deliver the package to a physical person. if the sig require is not checked it's up to the driver to determine if the package is safe where ever they leave it.

Ive used them all on a regular basis. FedEx the best by Far. Cheapest rates and 99% error proof. Everything is always on time if not a day or so early. I deal with the three main ones approximately 10+ times a week, so this isnt based on a once in awhile basis.

Honest to God? I like going thru the regular postal system. Nobody is home to sign for a package so I usually have to hike half way across the city the courier's depot to pick it up. With Canada Post, since I have a post office box, the package gets left with them and it's only a 2 minute drive to my local post office.

Small stuff = usps is the best rates.

Larger items like wheels etc... = FedeX has the best rates.

I like fedex, I ordered new tail lights for my Altima and the company shipped them out with DHL on the 22nd and I didnt recieve them until the 30th. Thats the longest its ever taken me to recieve something.Its usually takes 1-4 business days to recieve stuff from fedex and ups.
