Anything that doesn't take 2 months and counting to reach me.

I've only had experience with USPS but If you search you will find tonnes of rant threads about UPS and Fed-ex.

USPS is good, but slow.

UPS is garbage, they treat their packages like shit (i've watched those assembly line guys, it's disgusting), brokerage fees are huge (you can lower them a bit if you want to broker them yourself.....I don't) and they're lacking in the communication department (mostly amongst themselves). Shipping is fairly quick though.

Havn't had enough experience with other companies to make an educated opinion.

Greyhound if you're in no huge rush, they are not THAT slow anyway. Shipping from Toronto to here takes about 5-7 days.

Fedex is also pretty good. Never shipped with anything else tho...

Canada post in Canada, USPS for items coming to me from the U.S., and Canada Post for items being sent to the U.S.

UPS absolutely trashed a $200 dollar package I recieved, and if I remember correctly I was still on the hook for brokerage :whipped:

I use greyhound for anything Large, FedEx if it needs to be fast, Canada post for all else. Now, for things coming to me from the U.S., I always use USPS, their rates are actually pretty reasonable. Much better than they are up here, but the catch is the border is pretty slow right now.

Anything but UPS. I'd even take the Pony Express over UPS.

our company uses every courier company and i find DHL (loomis) to be fairly decent...for time anyways.. purolator is good but the forget packages sometimes. ups is good too but always get insurance on your order!
