For those in the southeast could be the two hurricanes we have had in the last week and a half are messing up delivery services.

Lots have lots of faith in USPS. Not me. I prefer UPS but FedEx is fine.
SmartPost or SurePost are the worst & slowest shipping if you’re not near the shipping sender.

I would never use either of those services. If I am going to use FedEx or UPS I am going to select the service that has them deliver it themselves and not pass it off to another carrier (USPS) but with RSC I am close enough to them that no matter which carrier I choose I will get my package the day after the pick it up from RSC. So I go with Priority mail. |

So I go with Priority mail. With Smart & or Sure post you don’t have the final say so if it will actually be delivered (in most cases it will) from the post office. And when/if it does you still lose a day cause FedEx or UPS drops it off at your sorting post office & then the next day it’s delivered to you. Not bad but still sucks in general. |

There’s been a couple times that FedEx and UPS have delivered it themselves. Normally during the holiday season. But for the most part they give it to the USPS for the delivery with those two services. So I won’t pick those services, because as someone who has worked at UPS I’ve seen how packages were handled in the hubs. So I want as few hands as possible to touch them. So having to use an extra carrier isn’t something I want done. lol |

So having to use an extra carrier isn’t something I want done. lol Years ago I ordered some vitamins from Reno NV to West TX & used SurePost & UPS took my order on such a weird long way to get to me. Took 5-7 days before I got it. Then when I ordered from RSC, with Free shipping SmartPost was used NY to NV took 5-6 days. Order again use ground FedEx, took 4 days. Never again will I ever use Smart or Sure post unless I’m near the shipping sender. |

I've had maybe two SmartPost orders be delivered by FedEx. Like PJ I'm close to RSC, so it's really not an issue. Three days max. It probably takes an extra day to get to me in NY where I am slightly closer to them, compared to if I have it delivered to PA. It gets transferred to the post office in Breinigsville, PA which is like 10-15 mins from my parents house. So boom. But if it's going to NY then obviously it has to go back to NY.

Funny seeing this post. My SS Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart were supposed to be delivered last thursday then today sunday and now its pending again. It happens every time I used the cheap fedex shipping it gets stuck in Concord, NC atleast 3 days every time. No more freeship for me and if I can get something thats not fedex from them I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Same here - always stalls in NC. The delivery estimates are all over the place and back and forth, and lately it has taken over a week. |

Speaking of, the order I placed over the weekend shipped yesterday with SmartPost and is being delivered today via FedEx. Nice.
