As I understand it, UPS is unionized, while FedEx is based on a comission salary(not terribly sure on that). It's been my experience that the lazy union workers are dicks when it comes to being on time, making sure a package gets delivered, care of packages, etc... FedEx on the other hand, usually makes at LEAST two attempts during the day to deliver my package, and always leaves a clear and concise note explaining how I can get my package ASAP. USPS is cheap, I'll give them that. They're a lot better than they used to be in terms of convenience too(tracking numbers and such). I still prefer FedEx.

P.S. If you work for UPS, and drive an RX-7, you're still cool in my book

Damn. I don't even understand. My package is going to Tampa. I don't know if Fedex skipped geography or what but they shipped it from Orlando (north and east of me) to west palm beach(south and east from me). I guess they couldn't find I-4 or something. For 6 days now the estimated delivery date has been the next day. Everyday beong moved back to the next date. I have spoken to 4 people there and they have taken my phone number and everything else possible but still no package. Kind of makes me not want to order anything else from the rx7store.net. Damn it pisses me off. Oh and the harness shipped by usps only took 4 days.

Im about done using fedex to ship stuff. For the most part they have been ok, but when they mess something up they really mess up. Im moving into a warehouse next week and will be using UPS as the main shipper. I use to use USPS and they are the worst. They still owe me $4000 in lost items which I will never see.
