UPS is f'ing horrible. The drivers in my old neighborhood had a nasty habit of delivering stuff to a neighbor if nobody's home and not notifying the recipient of what they've done. Whatever fragile stuff you have is guaranteed to arrive broken, even when you label it fragile and pack it accordingly, and their customer service is subpar. I'll never ship anything via UPS, and I always tell people who are sending me stuff to ship it via anything but UPS, even if this means I'll pay more for shipping charges.

I use USPS all the time to ship stuff out, and I've never had a problem with it getting delivered or paying too much for shipping.
