    Why on earth would I want to shop somewhere that I can guarantee will ship with FedEx? I’ll actively avoid places that only offer FedEx shipping as it is.

      I feel like everyone has had a bad experience with one of the major delivery services and just decides to shit on them. I’ve had packages busted by FedEx, usps, ups, that guy that drops off packages from his unmarked van. Like I get 97% of stuff okay, but 3% comes broken from them all.

        My wife worked for FedEx. I worked for UPS. Several of our friends have worked for one or the other. Several we know do or have worked for USPS. The only carrier we’re missing is DHL. We can all confirm there’s plenty of shenanigans, random pilferage, and organized theft to go around for everyone. They all hire anyone with a pulse as temp workers. It always surprises me when people think one is really better than another. Maybe that’s true for your home’s route, but not on the whole.
