[AT] shipping wars

[Phil Vorwerk]

I think you're exactly right on it being a regional issue. We ship a lot of
large packages every day (golf cart seats). When we used UPS we used to get
a lot of damaged packages when shipping to Florida. We switched to FedEx and
the problem disappeared. We think it was due to a particular sorting
terminal that UPS used for the Florida shipments that perhaps had too tight
of clearances for the packages we were sending. We hear it all the time from
our customers: some absolutely love FedEx but won't allow UPS on their
property because of bad experiences. Others, absolutely love UPS but won't
allow FedEx on their property because of bad experiences.....

This must be a regional thing.  I sent or received over a thousand 
packages last year and the only trouble I had was with Fedex.  Fedex 
liked to smash the packages and break the contents. It was almost a 
certain insurance claim with Fedex.  I got wonderful service with the 
Post Office and UPS.
