It is interesting to me how different the shipping services are in different areas. We get shipment via USPS almost every day. They are wonderful. Almost always on time, and left neatly by my front door.
Fed ex is the worst. Always late and then you have to hunt all over creation to find where they left it, often where it can be rained on even though we have a huge wrap around porch.
UPS is in between, but they are the most likely to damage items. Lots of times it looks like they let a herd of elephants trample all over it.
