Who ships a lot of stuff?
« on: October 24, 2010, 06:05:33 PM »
I know someone has probably already done this research.  When do you use USPS, Fedex, and UPS?  I've exclusively used the post office...  Anyone have any strong feelings for any of the three?

I use USPS for all the small stuff and fedex for the bigger things.
You can get price quotes from USPS, Fed EX and UPS on line.
Hope this helps you out.

USPS for most everything except large items, then usually UPS.  Only problems I ever had were shipping to Italy, and I am sure it was the Italian system not USPS, Larry

If you are going to send something to us Canadians ,USPS is the only way to go,at times we do get customs charges...............if you use UPS we get nailed pretty hard with brokerage fees, charged by UPS,
Fedex and the others I don't know..when I ship any where I use Canada Post

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
