[QUOTE="rod, post: 776251, member: 5382"] I don't think "if they don't care" is really the problem here. The bottom line with most shippers is ship it "the cheapest way". From my own experience of the last few years if I order from 10 different companies: 5 will ship Fedex Ground- 4 will ship USPS and one will ship UPS. To be honest I've had very good luck with stuff coming Fedex Ground and USPS. They both seem to be as fast as UPS ground and Fedex has a tracking system that is just as good as UPS's. Tracking throught the USPS cost extra so I can't compare them. Yes- I would prefer that my stuff be deliverd by UPS but I would never refuse something because it wasn't. Bottom line: just get me my stuff in a reasonable amout of time.
