[TenTec] Oooo-PS

[Carl Moreschi]

Where I live now the only shipper that is practical for me is USPS. 
I've shipped about 20 packages over the past year that way with no 
problem at all.

Over the years I have seen problems with both Fedex and UPS.  I don't 
think it matters which one you use.  They are both now almost exactly 
the same price.  When you ship anything you are at the mercy of the shipper.

One difference I will point out between UPS and Fedex is that UPS hires 
their own drivers.  All Fedex home delivery drivers are contracted.

And so far I like USPS.  They are the fastest when shipping cross 
country and using ground services.  And they are also the same price as 
Fedex and UPS.
