HUH??????
what government agency did you say you work for? USPS Advertising? USPS is so wonderful, my junk mail advertising comes a week after it expires. First class takes up to 2 weeks. FedEx is second day --- UPS overnight takes a week.
Brian's stuff is usually next day between 1145 and noon. (FedEx).
UPS =
United
Package
Smashers
WORST delivery service EVER..... Company policy it to crush, mangle, smash, toss, kick and generally abuse everything as much as possible. They also deliver AFTER DARK and use OPEN golf carts!
I despise UPS with a passion and avoid using them when given other options.
In defense of the USPS. At least here where I am, they get the mail to me on time and packages almost always arrive undamaged, showing no signs of abuse.
Their tracking system however, S*CKS...... Worst tracking system ever.. Track it after the fact. I suppose you could probably pay for optional "semi-real time mostly accurate tracking" but really, it's pretty sad..
Fed Ex, at least in this area, has good tracking, is on time, delivers early in the day. I've never had an issue with them abusing packages. They are more expensive but reliable.
When given the chance to choose, I usually will opt for Fed Ex. When I bought my camera last year it came from New York. They offered free 2nd day air via UPS. I declined and paid $40 to have next day air via Fed Ex.
I wasn't about to ship something so valuable through
United
Package
Smashers... No way, no how....
Personally, I wish
United
Package
Smashers would go out of business. They are truly awful....
