    It's all of the big three shipping services. When my Rag was shipped I went to track it and within ten minutes of it being received by UPS I got a delay notice.

    My LIM was finally delivered 10 days after the initial expected delivery. It's a 5 hour drive from the Schitter to here. Every FedEX package I've gotten lately has gotten delayed in the same place. I much prefer UPS personally but I guess others have problems with them.

    This is what happens when we defund the USPS and there is no public competition to keep the corporate shipping companies on their game. The USPS should and could be excellent.

    @rhythmdevils Completely agree. I actually only have one horror story with USPS, and I shipped almost 100 items in 2020 with them (pandemic purging of stuff). But the quality did seem to be going down over time so jumped to FedEx out of convenience/cost. UPS is a pain where I am and has its own host of issues. Not sure what to do now.

    UPS is struggling as well, flawless for the past years, 3 days transit US->UK, latest one in a while, 10 days.

    I may be weird, I've never found the USPS to be worse than FedEx or UPS. Lately for sending/receiving UPSP and UPS have both been good while FedEx has been terrible. I guess it varies a lot depending on where you live. It's unfortunate the USPS is toyed with by politicians, when properly funded I've found them to be great.

    @loadexfa yeah I agree, I have found lots of folks don't want to risk USPS these days though so embraced FedEx. Maybe I need to try changing back. Being able to schedule free pickup was a godsend during the start of the pandemic when I was selling tons and taking care of of my one year old.

    We ordered caviar that was shipped through FedEx. It showed up four days late. Caviar was still good, though.

    Just kidding, it was room temp when it arrived so I binned $200 in caviar.
