UPS has falsified delivery information on an ORM-D delviery (ammunition) to my address before, even stating the time it was delivered, and how it was delivered ("Customer received in person, time 1847", or something) (it wasn't). It was delivered the next day.

USPS has delivered both mail I have sent, and mail sent to me, over ONE MONTH late before (w/in CONUS!),and the addresses were clearly marked, neither being returned to the sender. It simply took forever, and one envelope looked like someone had trampled across it with dirty boots on or something. In both cases money-orders were being sent, and in another case, I had mailed someone something they bought from me. In all but one case (A friend sending me $ for something I sold him), it seriously strained relations between seller/buyer.

I have only dealt with Fedex ONCE. I did a COD shipment on a Benelli M4 COL stock to a gentleman going to Iraq in a couple of days. Everything went 100% as it should.

I have not used DHL or anyone else.

I would estimate that roughly 5% of the things I have sent/had sent to me by USPS have been mishandled.

About half that for UPS.

UPS customer-service is much better than USPS. USPS is, in my general experience, just a bunch of bums who do the bare minimum to get by, are not familiar with their job responsibilities or how to perform them, and are generally unhelpful, when compared with the average UPS worker.

A UPS worker did, on one occasion, need education about the protocol for shipping ammunion, as well as needing clarification that an FFL is not required to be copied/on file when shipping a firearm. They called corporate and corporate quickly advised them of policy and all was well. Other than that, they took most things in great stride, even when I walked in with Ar-15 uppers an all sorts of business and had them wrap it simply because wrapping things annoys me and they do it better than I would without a lot of cursing and wasted packing supplies.
