whats your favorite shiping company?

~~David~~ · Nov 23, 2002, 06:23 PM

well what is it. I personal use fedex for my business and personal shipments. UPS screwed me over hard a few times. Fedex has been awesome for me.

Jeff · Nov 23, 2002, 06:25 PM

I'll go with you on that, UPS sucks.

~~David~~ · Nov 23, 2002, 06:27 PM

OOOOO they really suck for international shipments. Fedex rocks! Zardon can agree with me on that one

DriveEuro · Nov 23, 2002, 06:56 PM

UPS usually takes forever for me...althought that just depends on your service and usually when I get something shipped it comes 1 day later than i was originally quoted...they don't seem to stand behind the date given.

Zardon · Nov 23, 2002, 07:20 PM

fedex for sure, UPS suck for international deliveries, I had a package coming from america, end up in scotland, then germany, then lost in england for days.

fedex rock !

Starscream · Nov 23, 2002, 07:23 PM

Canada Post - a little slow but reliable.

Cunard.

Loomis has great service here in Canada

Jeff · Nov 25, 2002, 06:06 AM

Everybody i've talked to has had excellent results with FedEx.

DriveEuro · Nov 25, 2002, 06:37 AM

cuz FedEx r0x0rs oh my god i did not just say that aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH how gay.

What the HELL kind of weird poll is this?

US postal service and Deutsche Post.

CRAP! I gave in!

digitalwanderer · Nov 25, 2002, 08:45 PM

I always say it's FedEx since my sister & her hubby work for 'em, but I like UPS & the post office a lot better. The post office is by far the cheapest/easiest for me, and the UPS in my area is just second to none.

Plus the UPS driver knows me pretty well now and gave me permission to hunt him down and pull him over if'n I'm expecting a package and getting squirrly waiting. When my PIII800 came in finally for Bubbles (when I first built here) it was the last piece to arrive and I was driving around for an hour and a half hunting down that damn brown truck.

DriveEuro · Nov 25, 2002, 09:20 PM

Man, sounds like you didn't have much to do....Drive around your city trying to find the UPS truck, that's something else.

reno · Nov 26, 2002, 03:23 AM

Ahh the US Postal Service...their Airmail to Germany was great...recieving 50 pound packages of doritos and fruity pebbles...it made it so much easier.

My "city" is a very much residential town & it was fun to cruise around hunting the brown truck. Me and my son had a ball.

Hey Digi, do you have a full time job?

JavaFox · Nov 26, 2002, 04:44 AM

Both FEDEX and USPS are good carriers. I haven't had any experience with UPS.

It depends on how you define "full time job". The last time I actually got PAID for my labors was in 99, I've been doing the "Mom-thing" since and it's a hell of a lot harder!

But technically, I think me answer would have to be "no"...although I don't agree with the technical definition after 3 years of this sh&t.

reno · Nov 26, 2002, 03:25 PM

That's why you get the kids hooked to video games, the ultimate babysitter! (But only let em play good ones, otherwise they'll become troublemakers!)

hehe, just kidding

~~TIGER~~ · Nov 26, 2002, 08:45 PM

"I dunno", but i just had to say something since its a Poll

I wish it was that easy, I just can't bring myself to let the idiot box watch me kids for me. (Not that I'm averse to using it for a quick web-break now and again.

)

My son is a big PS1 nut & getting a PS2 this x-mas. He's also the ridiculously proud owner of Boomer (see sig) and is quickly becoming rather adept at PC games. (And my daughter has finally figured out how to work the mouse!

Let's see...

2 day delivery dropped off on Friday doesn't get delivered til following Wednesday (no holidays).

Driver never bothers to come to my front door, always have to chase packages down or go to apartment leasing office - even when I've been here all day waiting for the package.

Driver bothers to come to door and leaves insured sig-required package with over $1000 worth of stuff just sitting in plain view on porch.

Driver claims to deliver package, package signed by "FRONTDOOR". Package nowhere to be found. Requires almost 11 straight hours of emails, phone calls, and finally threats of criminal prosecution to locate driver and force him to actually deliver package. Package arrives without any waybill paperwork.

Packages arrived with parts partially crushed.

Waybills indicating multiple boxes come as a single box. Other boxes are missing for days.

Tracing lost packages requires multiple days in most cases.

Credit takes 60-90 days.

Insurance claims are 120 days.

In short:

Federal Excuse is like a bunch of hopped-up monkeys on Viagra trying desperately to fuck a football.
