grimreaper Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) i dunno why everytime UPS ship me something i bought from US they charge me alota money and they said it some gay service fee even tho i already paid the shipping charge. So one time FedEx shiped me something and they didnt charge any extra money. i only used FedEx once so i cant be exactly sure. for those who had experience with both shipping companies, is FedEx just like UPS? or is it better? rite now im gonna vote for FedEX, what about u? Edit: oops i dont see the poll option??? Edited May 24, 2004 by grimreaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2004 poll? I vote FedEx just because they dont leave the package at the door if youre out. UPS may do this but they didnt the last 3 times I went with them. And also because FedEx has never failed me in bringing something ontime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smithee Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Out of the two I'm a UPS man. They found my address First Time! FedEx aren't as big over here and we have loads more decent couriers that frankly beat both their asses! I use Lynx and Amtrak if I want something delivered on time and securely. Never use Citylink! They are absolutely, completely and unreservedly the worst couriers I have ever used ever! Many times they have simply not left anything. No package, no card, no phone call, nothing. Other times they can't even find the address, so do they phone or tell the sender? No, of course not, they just take it back to their depot and leave it there. Anyway I've finished my Rant so in short UPS gets my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like it when they leave a parcel at your door when no one is home, because then I don't have to wait an extra day to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oik Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 poll?I vote FedEx just because they dont leave the package at the door if youre out. UPS may do this but they didnt the last 3 times I went with them. And also because FedEx has never failed me in bringing something ontime. oh no... see the powerbook in my sig? it got left at my door while i was not home. luckily i came straight home after school and found it before someone had a chance to steal it. fedex and ups are both horrible in my opinion... i use the usps myself.

pimpshiznid Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I am a FedEx guy. Primarily, because when I want something that was overnighted, I expect it to be here the following day, not 3 days later. That has happened more than 10 times, and I don't know what is so confusing, I mean, I live in a large city, and I have a very easy to get to address. But, work always sends UPS, and then complaines because I can't get the work done because I don't have it. Then, when I recieve packages, UPS doesn't check for anyone being home, they just throw it on the porch and knock on the door. Many many signature required packages and a engagement ring worth over 3 grand happend exactly like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryne Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I would prefer USPS. UPS charges some crazy brokerage fee for small things. FedEx just takes is generally more expensive for me. USPS I can deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm2000 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Never us USPS. USPS just leaves the package on your front door without a note. One time I had the contents of the package stolen. UPS usually leaves the package behind the gate in my backyard. I always thought FedEx was more "professional" and more expensive. I guess it's not that case. Here's a good comparison of the 2 companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circaflex Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 poll? I vote FedEx just because they dont leave the package at the door if youre out. UPS may do this but they didnt the last 3 times I went with them. And also because FedEx has never failed me in bringing something ontime. Not correct, FedEx will just leave it if your out. This past week I've had 3 packages delivered to me from FedEx and I haven't been around and they just left it on my doorstep. One package was 80 dollars worth of fans, the other was a thermochill 120.3PA, and last was a 400gb harddrive, so it wasnt like they were cheap items. I dont care both are always early on their deliveries to my house, I tend to like FedEx a little more, not because of quality of service, but the delivery guy is always the same one and hes a cool guy who knows me by name now :rofl: :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyehac Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 The UPS guy knows us, so whenever he passes by our house, he tells us that we have a package (if there's other houses that are on his delivery route down the street). Fedex just left a motherboard package on our table when no one was home, and he had the nerve to open the gate to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvrt7.62Ghst Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 As we say in aviation: UPS is a trucking company with airplanes. FedEx is an airline with trucks. My vote goes to FedEx becasue they are run better from what I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
