Any suppliers using Fed Ex yet?

[Tundra86]

Fed Ex is by far the best and fasting way to ship. I don't mind the extra cost if My order is here asap. I'm sick of slow lazy suppliers who wait an entire day to package the order which is only a couple juices then send it the next day on the slowest service with the slowest option, USPS First Class Mail.

If it is shipped from china using fedex or dhl it will never make it through customs.

Note :
from the US Vapure willl ship you stuff using fedex and Chris is pretty quick.

I can't speak for the China sellers. However a ton of US sellers ship Priority USPS and have great luck. I ship mostly Priority USPS and most of my packages get to my customers in 2 days. Also if you place an order with most suppliers they will try to ship the same day. For instance if you order from our site we ship all order the same day unless it comes in after 4PM MST. I think most US sellers have the same MO.

What's wrong with UPS Overnight, 2nd Day Air, 3day Select or Ground for domestic shipping?

I used to work for USPS. Priority mail is great , first class or Parcel can truly suck. If we hard large loads of mail on any given day, we could defer our first class and Parcel post. Which means they would lay on the floor at our sorting station for a couple of days. First class and parcel post can be deferred for several days, seeing they have a 2-9 day delivery estimate. But for no reasons could you defer priority mail.. Thats why I ship all my items USPS Priority . 99% of the time they ship out at 9am the following day and should be to most everyone in 2 days, because I ship from the center of the USA. I will never ship first class ever ever ever.

I see a few places with the fed ex option available but unless your in dire straits your just as well off getting it in priority mail it will arrive within 4 days tops most often in 3 or 2 depending on how close you are to each other.

Most suppliers do not give you the option for 2nd day air or overnight.

4 days is too long for me, 2 days is acceptable, 3 days is my limit. This is counting the day I Ordered. I always do my Orders in the mornings so the suppliers have time to send my order to the post office, recently though I've had a few issues with suppliers not sending my package until the next day, I will not call out who they are because I'm sure that is frowned upon though I'm very tempted to do so.

I know I might seem to have a high shipping standard for one/two man shows, so that is why I'm looking for the bigger suppliers that can provide speedy shipping.

My mail man is here to pick my packages up at 8am. As far as the bigger name suppliers, I can bet almost always they are going to take 1-3 days to even process your order.

We small suppliers may be a 1 and 2 horse pony show, but most of use bust our .... to get things out ASAP.

I get up at 5am to start working on orders that came in after I went to bed at 1am. 99% of the time if you order before 3am, your package will go out at 8am when the mailman picks up my packages.. And I can assure you most all of us suppliers do this.

Also I just had 4 Fed ex packages arrive Friday.. and they were all delivered by the mailman along with my priority packages and the items in from Fed ex were purchase 3 days before my items that shipped USPS. Go figure.

fedex and ups is on average 2 dollars more than usps.
