I have recently had mail take several weeks to a month that would normall take 3-4 days. And that is normal first class/ground shipping as well as a priority package (it wasn't very priority apparently). They did eventually get to their destinations though, but really late.
And a tintype. They had USPS covered wagons when this was made. (not my picture)

I might be wrong, but for the money I rank USPS #1 by far. I would rank UPS 2d and FedEx 3rd.
As a matter of fact, FedEx is looking for a misplaced/lost package for me right now that came from England. It made it to Memphis and customs but then went into the dreaded black hole. We all base our thoughts on our individual experiences, and I dread something coming to me from FedEx. Since USPS went to flat rate packaging and advantage I haven't had a single problem. My fingers are crossed! |

I hate to say it but USPS is the best. Over 10,000 ebay transactions since 1997 and only 2 or 3 packages lost.

Don't get my wrong guys, I still almost solely use USPS. They generally do a great job, but recently a few things slipped. My incidents were with board members so they were very cool about it. Not a big deal. All is well that ends well.

25 years ago a small USPS flat rate box cost $3.50 and would frequently travel from east coast to west coast in 2 days. Calculated for inflation that is $6.50 in 2025 dollars.
In the last 2 weeks packages traveling 700-800 miles are taking between 7-9 days. My PO Box had someone else's package in it yesterday. Experiences with Fedex and UPS aren’t any better. The quality of service from all three are bad compared to years ago. |
