None of them are any good where I live. USPS rarely delivers packages, but they always deliver a pick-up-slip. Even if it's small enough to fit in the mail box they leave a slip, and we have to drive 35 miles to the post office to pick it up. UPS drives through the neighborhood like a raving maniac. You can hear their truck a quarter mile away bouncing on the dirt roads. Haven't dealt with DHL or FedEX yet, but they do drive in the neighborhood.... slowly usually.

Here in Europe is it with out a doubt Hermes, they leave parcels right at your front door, so every one going by can see the parcel and potentially steal it...

The only time I ever had a problem with Amazon it worked out tremendously in my favor somehow. I ordered an $86 fan to replace my dying whining one. They missed the 2 day delivery. So I emailed them and canceled the order. Figuring I need to run to HTG and buy one, time was of the essence if it died. In the meantime the driver delivered it the next day after I had canceled it. It showed up as missing on their tracking. So Amazon refunded my money and sent me a free one. So I got 2 $80 fans for free. I think I gave one to @tangerinegreen555 . Right?

I can't hear, I'm working right under a fan somebody gave me.

from my experience has to be FedEx easily. what pisses me off about FedEx is the fact that when they deliver they don't even bother to knock on the door they just place the item and leave. i've ordered expensive items before and it was non discrete and they just put it right in the garage where everyone could see it luckily i was home but that pissed me off it's like at least do a damn courtesy knock or something. just yesterday my aunty next door ordered a table and FedEx delivered. the damn driver couldn't even lift the package i had to grab it myself and when the worker took it out of the van she just dropped it on the ground no fucks given. if the worker was smart she would of parked in our drive way ( we had LOTS of room to fit her van ) then drop it off or ask someone to help her. my sisters bf answered the door she didn't even ask him to help. they also delivered it to the wrong address as well. we live in a duplex our side is 808 the other side is 808A idk why they keep thinking 808A is the same as 808.

with USPS it isn't so bad they knock at least until someone comes out then they leave a note in the mailbox saying they tried to deliver it. the most issue i get with USPS is they give our mail to my cousins all the time even when we write who lives where they still manage to mix it up. with the boxes they just give everything to my grandparents upstairs it's not bad but they are hard of hearing and don't wear hearing aids ( idk why we tell them to but they don't ) so even if they are home sometimes they won't answer the door since the doorbell is broken and they can't hear you knocking sometimes

LOL I sent a package of some nice scotch and crystal glasses about 6 hours north of me. The USPS sent it via Roger Shrubber's house. Made for a sort of empty Christmas gift.

I've had FedEx and UPS really fail as well. I think they all have their moments.

i think what helps with us for USPS is the fact we have had the same mailman for MANY years. he looks grouchy af but he does a decent job. i think we are the last block on his list thus why he looks this way probably tired already. our house is close to the USPS and FedEx and all that so if anything i can pick up my packages if i need to take about 5-10min drive.

Emery went out of business in 2006.

At different times I have used almost all of them.

Without doubt Emery Worldwide was the very worst I ever had the displeasure to have encountered in 30 years of moving
shit from one place to another.

SOB's mostly delivered to job sites all over the world within reason of a few hour window, no bigger issues here
than with other overnighters.

But my house was different. Emery rarely ever got the pick up or delivery right.
I have lived here for near 40 years.

Emery is the only one that would tell me the driver could not find my house.
They would say this with a serious tone completely oblivious to the fact that they had
delivered packages to my house almost every week for years, at times I shipped or received
material and tools on a daily basis. Making the special trip to a local airport for shipping counter to
counter for same day pick up on a Sunday night was not unheard of.

Outside of this specific company, the rest suck equally :finger:
