I've shipped many musical instruments (violins and guitars mostly) and I prefer USPS. I find them reliable and mostly prompt. FedEx second, UPS third. USPS keeps it moving cross-country on holidays and weekends (no holiday delivery, though).
Which courier do you prefer?
My favorite domestic courier is "USPS Priority".
It is not very expensive but deliver within 2 days on Conus.
But I am being puzzled by Fedex.
One of my audio parts was supposed to arrive at my home on 14th Thursday after shipping from Chicago on 8th, Friday.
But it was delayed by snow storm.
I could understand that.
But after arriving Burlington WA (8 miles from my home) on 15th Friday, it is missing in action.
When I checked tracking, it showed "delivery pending" for 5 days.
Do you also have bad experience with Fedex?
