I use USPS because it's cheaper, but yes, the UPS people are way more professional.  I've had to file a complaint recently with USPS because one of their carriers was putting a business' mail in the wrong box, delivering wrong mail and then when he was confronted about it---he started tossing boxes by the business' back door that had a variety of addresses & names on them not even remotely close to the business address/name.

When filing the complaint, the USPS lady didn't seem to possess the brain cells necessary to wrap her mind around the fact that their carrier was stashing boxes by the back door that was NOT supposed to be delivered there, even though I had the boxes and a business card for the business showing the business name & address.  THEN. she didn't seem to think it was a big deal until I let her know those boxes could have easily been stolen.

I see alot of people posting "where's my package?" in regards to USPS.  Well, with them---get a tracking number ALWAYS because they could be ANYWHERE & USPS don't care!!

Either USPS or UPS... USPS delivery people are able to get into my apartment complex, but leave the packages near the door. UPS have a 80/20 chance able to get into my apartment complex and they carry it to my door... FedEx they usually have problems getting into the door, and even if they do they leave it near inside the apartment door.

I'd rather use the post office for shipping anything. Mainly because it belongs to all of us, as taxpayers, and I like getting what I pay for.. :)

Fedex has become worse these days. They dont even bother to press the buzzer anymore, and you get the slip that says they tried 3 times already, when they didn't even try once. I will not ship thro Fedex at all.

My preferred shipping is UPS.  I love the fast service and the driver will ring the door bell when he leaves a package.  :)

I don't shipped stuff much so I don't really care which company, but if I would choose it would be UPS.

I also prefer using the U.S. Postal service when I have to ship something.  They are cheaper than other shippers. Fortunately, we live in a rural area and have a carport where drivers leave packages, and as retirees, there is someone at home almost every day.  We've never had anything stolen.  I would think that companies are unable to ship to a P.O. box because most boxes are not big enough to hold large packages.
