FedEx: Our completely untrained driver has high centered the truck 3.3 miles from your house. You'll need to go there and bring a fire extinguisher because the truck is also in fire.
UPS is the fucking worst. Everything I have ever had shipped with them gets delayed or lost or damaged. Somehow, I've had better luck from FedEx and I know people typically think they're god-awful.
Where I am that's FedEx. UPS generally does a good job, but FedEx gives me anxiety lol
USPS: Delivered
1 week later: Arrives
I actually got really lucky because of that. I sent the seller a message saying I never received the product but it says delivered so they sent me a new one (it was worth $100, so good on them!) and then I got the original package 2 days later lol
Miami moment
Only real USPS drama I've had was when package shipped to me was seized for counterfeit postage.
Seller claimed they were talking with USPS and would work it out. USPS disagreed. Got my refund in the end.

It took all paths simultaneously to get to its' destination.

6pm: Expected time is between 1pm - 5pm
8pm: Package has arrived (picture of package in front of someone else's door)
Up until recently USPS was really reliable for me. Now things just keep getting stuck in Philly or lost in Atlanta.
Thankfully I've never had a delivery issue with FedEx (got a good delivery driver I guess), but they also like to randomly let packages sit for days in a distribution center.
UPS used to be good here but now half the time packages from them arrive all bashed up, and they charge way too much for pickup.
USPS: Package out for delivery.
Also USPS: Informed Deliverytm reports you have no mailpieces or packages scheduled for delivery today.
Also also USPS: For your convenience, your mail carrier will walk up to your door without your package, but will rather stick a "you weren't home" pink slip in your mailbox without bothering to knock, while you are making eye contact with them through the screen door.
That last one is FedEx lol, or you requested signature service and they just left it in the yard.
That just means the seller has created the shipping label, but USPS hasn't picked it up yet.
