Who Ships Your Packages the BEST?

After Numerous recent events I am feeling compelled
to Get the Word OUT, as they say..

The USPS, once a Gov. agency, is now totally inept
and shredding shipments, NOT delivering them, and
now even irradiating DVDs sent by photogs to the
Library of Congress to register their image ©.
I have had them lose bank statements that got
returned to the bank and then shredded and
last week I even found out about a notice from
my broker that got Returned saying my address
was bad... -don't think so. Same place for the
last 30+ years... so I have just about had it with
them and because of all of these incidents of
BAD service wanted to notify all of my photog
friends and readers to use another method of
shipping anything they consider Important.

The ONLY method for shipping images prints, and
important things that I TRUST now is FedEx.
They are the ONLY service, I know of, that IF you
Pay for a Signature they WILL require it and get it....

UPS will NOT even wait at a door long enough to
ring the doorbell or get the signature...
I know, I had a lens delivered to a wrong address
and they simply left it on the wrong front porch,
then during the 2nd attempt I was at home, ON
the phone with UPS, when the drive drove up,
the dog barked, and before I could even get TO
the door to supposedly Sign for the lens, the driver
was Back in the Truck and taking OFF...
So do NOT pay them to Request a signature, they
will NOT get one for you....if you need "Proof of Receipt"

Sorry to be the bearer of these facts, but my main
purpose is to Hope that knowledge is Power and
being informed you will not suffer the same issues
I and many of my friends have..

Here is a recent post by another photog friend to
illustrate my point.....that I felt was VERY relevant
for Photographers.

I have a funny feeling that when this economy
recovers FedEx stock will let you KNOW.

Please feel free to comment and share
your experiences....
