On the other hand, I've never missed a UPS delivery, never been late, and on top of that in fifteen years of shipping/receiving packages at work and at home I have had one lost package (at work) and only a couple of damaged boxes (the contents were only actually damaged once). In fifteen years. Obviously, your mileage may vary.

Why to people only post to complain about most companies? Curious phenomenon.
LOL, yeah it depends where you live. I have pretty much the same experience.

UPS is very reliable for me. They deliver within a 1.5 hour window like clockwork every day. (was horrible at a different place I lived at).

FedEx Express is inconsistent, but mostly reliable, but delivery times are inconsistent. Unless it's an overnight shipment, I'll have deliveries anytime from as early as 9am, to as late as 7:30pm. A FedEx shipment requiring a signature is like waiting for the Cable guy for me.

FedEx Ground is horrible. They miss and skip deliveries, and are usually late.
