I guess I am one of the lucky ones, but I have had great experiences with UPS and FEDEX. I am in Houston, and my UPS always gets here before 9am, and my fedex is rarely later than noon, but the driver has let me know that he can just leave my packages at the hub to pick up at 9 rather than wait for the delivery, very nice, older guy. Not to mention, everytime I have ordered 2 day shipping, it takes only one day.

I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I have no complaints about either so far.

Just talking,
