We like FedEx econo second day, and BAX Global for international shipments. The best part about FedEx is that they get you COD payments back in 2 days too! Their second day rates are quite comparable to UPS second day.
Problems with U.P.S.
I have had five problems with ups in two months. They have lost cod checks, destroyed a package that was packed in a crate, and even delivered a package to a completely diffirent address that was on the label. They even accepted a bank check with the wrong name on it. I am the only one having problems with them? Any recommendation on alternate shipping companies would be appreciated.
