I hate ALL Couriers at this point. In my time of shipping, they have destroyed a vintage IBM XT (USPS, how the hell do you destroy THAT? That's a 45LB Block of steel? Did they hit it with the mail truck?), lost a rare laptop charger (USPS), delivered a PC case to the wrong house (FedEx), TRIED to destroy that same XT when I was a recipient (UPS), messed up a vintage toy Halo vehicle (UPS), lost a Guitar Neck for 3 months (Some Third Party Shipper that deals with ChinaPost), lost guitar tuners (USPS/China Post), destroyed a vintage Laptop (USPS), destroyed a modern laptop (FedEx), destroyed a Server worth a car I was to deploy (work, FedEx, looked like they hit that too with the truck...what the fuck!?!?)....seriously, shipping shit is a fucking nightmare! And it's only gotten worse.

USPS - I reember a time in the 1990's when they had to TIGHTEN the USPS up because someone went nuts and shot people up (remember the term "Going Postal"). Now it seems it's in the opposite extreme. I can only think of two times, well, actually ONE time I was actually helped with an issue with the postal service. That one time I brought in a computer I sold and needed to ship it off, the lady carted it in back for me, that's it, because it was too big for the after-hours deposit tray. That' when I went to UPS because their store was actually OPEN when I needed them to be before work. Lose a package - good luck. Need help shipping something, hah! Deliver the wrong package? They just tell you they sent it off and it's out of their hands. I use them because they are cheap, and I know why they are cheap (bad customer service, and a government org), so I don't really complain as much. At least your parcels will make it dadgummit, even if their tracking is less reliable than a Cybertruck copy made by Yugo.

UPS - UPS are the "Toxic Masculinity" of courier services. They will rough-house anything you send through them. Seriously, they look like the Ace Ventura gif I put above. I had an IBM XT travel across 3 states, and somehow these maroons brought me a box held together with 2 zip ties, leaking packing peanuts on our driveway, both corners open, and the computer inside thankfully survived whatever airplane this was tossed from the rear trap-door of. So if you ship via UPS, make sure to pack it in a Death Star sized gerbal ball of bubble wrap prepared to be dropped from outer space into the grand canyon. P.S. UPS, I'm still waiting on 15 Atari Games and 4 controllers from 1996 I ordered from Sidartha!

FedEx - FedEx is the official shipping service of the 1990's. And just like the 1990's, it's slow, stoned, and loses stuff all the damn time. Seriously, I have to wonder if the failed Grunge Musicians who deliver these packages are just toking it up, and then dropping things off all willy nilly. In 2004, I bought a new-old-stock XT case, and these dunces marked it as "Delivered" - turns out, the box was not my neighbor's porch for a week and a half before I figured out that old lady Drexel up the street probably isn't buying anything in a box big enough to house a vintage IBM computer. And that's not the only time. Had to get another package from a neighbor just a few years ago. And one time, the lady walks up with 5 packages and asks which ones are mine....christ, is reading comprehension in America truly THIS bad now? Still though, destroying a Server Computer roughly the price of a brand new Toyota Corolla fully loaded takes the cake!

DHL - My main complaint is how slow they are. You'll get your stuff, but christ, want to know why the hell a company that rhymes takes 10000000 years to fix your computer in the 2000's, it's these guys, either that or arguing with the man with a thick accent over the phone about how a motherboard is not "de bottom plastique"! Seriously, I'd have 10 tickets for a day, and here I am waiting on a motherboard for a PC for a month, while I explain to my manager who sounds like the Bronx on crack (Joisey Accent) why in the absolute fuck the computer isn't getting fixed. Well...THATS WHY.
