Where I live, USPS is just full of idiots, and I always run into problems(That's usually everywhere), and I was wondering: Is there a possibility for me to order something and have it delivered by another delivery service like FedEx or UPS? I would be glad to pay extra for shipping for this.

SF has had issues with USPS, and they said they are planning on switching to FedEx sometime this year.

OH god please no. Fedex's charging a ridiculous price for custom Fees (Something like 80$ US in Canada). PLEASE NOOOOOO!!!

Even though FedEx has ridiculous prices, I would rather have them deliver it than USPS.

So far everything I've bought via FedEx has been about $36 to get across the border.

On the contrary from what we experienced last year with USPS, the USPS guy that delivers to us is great.

The other hand, the FedEx guy isn't so bad, either. There really isn't much of a difference between them.

Best to have an option perhaps. Standard USPS for price (slower service) and priority FedEx for premium courier. Personally I have had sabers delivered to me by both. It comes down to price and speed. FedEx offers live tracking if one chooses their priority service, and yes it costs more.

In my personal experience USPS delivers earlier in the day, generally around 9:30-10 AM which can sometimes be an issue if people have work. Where I live FedEx delivers between 4 and 6 PM.
