(23,307 posts)Turd in the punch bowl here...but I own a small business that ships multiple parcels daily both domestically and internationally. While I love the mail carrier tha picks up from my shop, the reality is that USPS pricing is sooooooo much higher than Fedex for us. I negotiate my FedEx rates yearly. I can't do that with USPS. Further, if there's an issue with a shipment, getting a USPS customer service person on the phone is difficult at best. My business orders a lot of supplies on online...Amazon and other retailers...some of those vendors ship via UPS or Fedex who will the hand off those packages to USPS for final destination delivery...WELL, I'm sad to say that if we're going to have an issue with delivery of those supplies, it is always at the point of UPS or Fedex giving the shipment to USPS where it gets messed up. Don't get me wrong... I want to LOVE USPS because I believe in their mission. I've just not experienced their awesomeness first hand at my business...where it matters.
