I don't really care as long as it gets to me on time.

UPS did this to me, which is why I like USPS. I guess they work differently in different places.

The first time I answered this question when the poll was asked a few weeks/months ago, I answered USPS. I wanted to do my part to, you know, keep them in business. But I will NEVER use them again after they lost an Eden package of mine and the best they did for me was send me an email saying, and I'm quoting here, this:
An apology is no substitute for good service, but I want to offer one on behalf of the Postal Service. We appreciate your reporting this matter to us. It helps to know the kinds of difficulties our customers have so we can work toward improvements. The loss of any piece of mail is as disappointing to us as it is to you. Please accept our sincere apology for any inconvenience this matter may have caused you.
And nothing else. No attempt to contact me further or find the actual package or even who was responsible. My faith in them is gone. less

I asked a similar poll a couple of months ago -link - and the results were also similar. As a rule, I always go for USPS even though their tracking isn't the greatest. I've had problems with UPS for years - they've lost packages, delivered my packages to the WRONG address, you have no idea as to when they may decide to deliver (I've had some packages delivered after 8 PM)! USPS is also faster.

UPS and FedEx always give my packages to our neighbours. I try to use USPS for *anything* so that UPS doesn't bother them by waking them up and asking them to sign for it. .__.
My neighbours are great and they have always given me the packages without opening them or anything, but I don't want them bothered and I don't want anything sitting out for potentially a long time in the cold if they just drop the package on their porch and I don't notice.
I've tried leaving carrier instructions and it doesn't seem to work. They've gotten it right a few times, but sometimes they even just drop the package off in the middle of the driveway.

Have not used UPS since they dropped the ball last year! USPS all the way unless Fedex is available as an option.

I wish there were a way for me to select the "No B.S. Shipping Method" instead.

I pick USPS every time.

USPS gets the stuff i order from here in 2 days.

I prefer UPS but sometimes cheap out and go USPS and always wind up regretting it. Their tracking is awful!

USPS has not let me down yet for my Eden packages. I'll sometimes find a package on my doorstep and the tracking says it's still in a city 2 hours away. I like getting things earlier than I think I will.

USPS definitely. I always use them and frequently get the packages AHEAD of schedule

Ditto! I always prefer USPS. UPS uses my packages as a kickball, I am convinced!

I use USPS mostly but if I can get it sooner on UPS without paying I'll sometimes choose that. Especially if it's at a time when I don't want to run to the post office to pick up my package.
11/29/2011
I prefer USPS for most things, including packages from Eden, but I prefer UPS or Fed Ex if I need something super fast.
11/29/2011
I prefer UPS by far! USPS always takes a day longer than the estimate says, and their tracking kinda blows.

We're up in the great white north of Canada and have used UPS for 4 years of toy shipments without issue. In the last two months however we've had to pay brokerage charges (for crossing the border) of about $25 a shipment. The extra charges never happened until then and have us just about ready to shop locally instead of from Eden. I love EF but.....I guess I'm cheap too.
11/29/2011
USPS has the best prices.
11/30/2011
I've been on the internet too long. I thought this was going to be about an entirely different sort of "shipping." Whoops.

USPS. I absolutely hate UPS.
