Who do you prefer to ship with?

Which shipping company do you prefer to use?

Joose · 03-November-03, 03:19 PM

I only use FedEx because that's all the company I work for uses...so I get a di$count.

I've used FedEx, Purolator and UPS...all are great...just find the best price on where you need it to go and use them.

Dimazz · 03-November-03, 04:07 PM

i use all of them, i trust all of them (put that option in)

HoJo · 03-November-03, 08:19 PM

I haven't voted yet because I've used all three and have had no problems.

Jonny English · 03-November-03, 09:07 PM

Securicor - I can book online, they pick up parcels up to 25 kilos the next day, and deliver the day after that for Ã‚Â£10.60.

Way cheaper and faster than Royal Mail Parcelfarce for the heavy stuff - plus they don't go on strike

BigAkita · 03-November-03, 09:17 PM

I pretty much stick with UPS, their prices are OK and it's convenient for me.

FoeHammer · 03-November-03, 09:47 PM

I tend to go with FedEx if at all possible. With FedEx you can set a time for them to make a delivery attempt, plus thier office is relatively close to me.

That makes all the difference when you work nutty hours like me.

IronSerif · 03-November-03, 10:02 PM

well at work, with ship and receive from Fed Ex, UPS, USPS, and Air Borne Express. Haven't had any problems with any of the carriers...

but personally I usually ship with UPS.

GlitterKill · 03-November-03, 11:29 PM

Personally I have had some bad experiences with Fedex. UPS on the other hand is extremely reliable.

Shadowman0000 · 04-November-03, 09:22 AM

UPS definately has the best tracking system... Thier customer service is very good, same with fedex. But you cant beat USPS for low dollar item shipping.

But 99% of the time I ship UPS.

Iateronmly · 04-November-03, 10:36 PM

Because I live in Alaska - I ALWAYS go USPS if I can - UPS and FedEx cost to much.

FeRaL · 06-November-03, 01:36 AM

UPS, discount from the shipping dept at work is a bonus ta boot!

Red02 · 07-November-03, 12:47 AM

I go with UPS after being at a friends house a watching the FedEX go just let a box fall out of his truck with out even caring or attempting to catch it, with both of us watching him.

So I use UPS.

A little joke for ya'll. If FedEx and UPS joined teams what would they name the company?

FEDUP

cheesy but its funny.

Gamma_Goblin · 09-November-03, 04:07 PM

UPS all the way! They buy more monitors from me than any one else! That plus I use them to ship stuff every day. Therefore, they are my favorite.

SInce I run a computer store, I recieve shipments almost daily. I've had better luck with Fed Ex than UPS as far as getting stuff in decent shape. I've recieved way more damaged boxes from UPS than I have from Fed Ex. When you get boxes that are marked fargile handle with care and they have big foot prints on them or the side has been kicked in, it makes you wonder if the guys at UPS can even read or if they do it on purpose. More and more of my vendors are shipping FED Ex these days because UPS has gotten more expensive and Fed Ex now has a cheaper shipping deal.

Joey · 11-November-03, 02:44 PM

Fed ex, because 1 out 2 packages i get from fed ex come a day early. Thats never happened with Ups. Like dr-gonzo said, ups seems to damage more of the stuff ive recieved than fedex.

carbongraphite · 12-November-03, 07:52 PM

DAMN AIRBORNE EXPRESS! its 4:30 on the second buissness day. if your not here in 30 minuites im gonna be very pissed

Kleiner · 13-November-03, 12:43 PM

Guys, I wouldn't reccomend FED-EX

I used to work for them and we had an allowance of how much product we could break, destroy, and ship to the wrong place per day

Which was cool and all until the second I realized how terrible it was that I was destroying peoples personal belongings and orders and etc.

I can remember one time I got a broken box filled with hundreds of LODR DVDs. It dumped everywhere, and I took the liberty of destroying every single one of them to cheer me up after a frustrating day.

I hate FED-EX

, and so should you... and you would too if you worked there or saw how that company was run.

putwig · 13-November-03, 11:47 PM

Allright my Canadian Brethren .......... shout it form the rooftops .......

Anyone but UPS!!!

For transborder shipping, UPS has brokerage fees that could kill a man! $30 per Hundred of value. So, If one of you shipped me a $200 US parcel UPS, I would be charged $90 CDN at my doorstep!!!

Fedex and Purolator cost a bit more up front, but have no hidden "brokerage" fees.

USPS has brokerage fees, but it is about $5 per hundred of value. Roughly 1/6th that of UPS.

When shopping online, I check shipping methods before I even look at inventory!

If you have to ship to Canada USPS Global Priority or Global Express mail is the only way to go.

Sound to me that the problem with FedEx is the sort of people they employ

LODR? What's that? Lord of Da Rings ? Is that some kind of low budget ghetto remake ?
