DHL for international if you primarily ship to the most 'common' countriesOriginally posted by Burridge
both domestic and international.
UPS for domestic + Canada
USPS = slow & no tracking, use only if you are looking for cheapest option (must be used for P.O. boxes anyway though)Comment

FedEx is the most reliable. UPS is good for large packages.
Forget the US Postal Service. They are the most unreliable.

If your process is automated (i.e. you just have some monkeys slap shipping labels on boxes and they sit by the dock waiting for $whomever to pick it up) go USPS. You can get some good deals, and they tend to be the most consistantly reliable shipper I've ever used (and we ship quite a bunch of crap around the country). However, they are not good at "custom" in terms of varying pickup times, some days you have stuff, some days not, etc. You can also get "pretty good" tracking w/ USPS.
Otherwise use Fedex, which is more expensive and has other problems but we use them a lot. They deal MUCH better which "custom" stuff, custom pickups, last minute shipments, etc. Their tracking is the best by far of all the companies, but their drivers can be lazy assholes. Luck of the draw on the latter though.
UPS I stopped even considering after their drivers did "drive by's" here a couple times. Meaning they SAY they attempted to deliver a package, but never happened to you know.. show up at the door, or leave a note, or anything. After 3 or 4 times of that happening we simply said fuck 'em.

What are you shipping? If it's adult videos/DVDs type material, avoid USPS -- it's Federal.
UPS won't open it unless it's going through Customs, then will reject it if it's anything dealing with adult. Each package is automatically insured up to $100 and for a buck, you can have a signature required which helps in chargeback issues.
FedEx is good but more expensive.Make bank by giving your surfers free pics every day and it costs you NOTHING! Use POTD Sponsors to find adult sponsors in more than 75 niches who offer a POTD feature!Comment

USPS is good enough for most small shipments. For luxury items, I'd go with Fed Ex.Comment

I use fedex most of the time fast and good priceingComment

for Ground packages the best is FEDEX GROUND
For OVERNIGHT we like USPS EXPRESS
For packages to canada FEDEX GROUND again is the best. Takes around 4-5 days. Sometimes even faster then Express delivery.
Never use DHL for domestic. They are misplace lots of packages. When we used them for our Ground services we had to reship around 10% of all orders because they were delivered to wrong addresses. Then also when they try to make delivery and the customer is not there, all other companies leave a note. DHL in 50% of the cases never did.Comment

I prefer FedEx for international shippings.They're the best when stuff is stuck at the customs.

hard to beat the cost for international @ the us post office, and they have prepaid postage and free pick up six days a week for domestics

OK Fed ex is great if you know it blah blah blah has to be there overnight. If it is anything that is heavy I like to use UPS ground. USPS is a bunch of bullshit. Now DHL is going off I think they are actually doing a telemarketing campaign offering 1 free package under a certain weight shipped anywhere in the US for free to try them out kepp an eye on them I know already they are cheaper than Fed ex or UPS.
