okay, there is a trend here. I have this same thing posted on some other car sites I frequent and you are the THIRD person to say they would rather use USPS. Out of roughly 15 responses across 5 sites, three of them saying no issues with USPS strikes me as a good heads up.
So it is USPS for me whenever I can request it.
At the hot rod shop we sent out 15 pkgs per day average over a six month period. I had one claim with UPS and about 5 with FedEx. They just suck... especially their ground division.
In my personal shipping experiences (say 50-ish items I have shipped to fellow car nuts over the past seven years) my ONLY issues have been FedEx. UPS jacked up one of my shipments of parts one time and settled the claim almost immediately. FedEx has been 4 issues. I had a couple that they more or less handled. Then the targa top which was a complete fiasco even tho' I paid for insurance, and given their reputation with the hot rod shop and that fiasco, I said no more. How do you lose a 3ft x 4ft roof and claim it never left the building????
This latest one... I only wish I had asked them how they were shipping them to me. We are talking air shipment, overnight stuff and they jack one up. It didn't even go thru that many hands like a ground package does.
