Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | I have spent near $500k shipping tackle to date. Here is my opinion on major shippers: USPS: 99% of the time will NEVER honor insurance. Ex: I had a $400 package lost to the Netherlands. Even the postal service in the Netherlands confirmed the package was lost or destroyed and I got a letter from them stating this. The USPS said it was delivered...This was after 6 appeals. After this, I moved about 40% of my shipping away form the USPS and it has cost them at least $30k-$40k to date... UPS: Will honor their insurance about 70% of the time but it is a real pain the the ars to get them to do anything. Same deal as the USPS....I moved all major rod shipping over to FedEx about 3 years ago and my estimation is that UPS has lost about $40k in shipping and that was over a $16.16 insurance claim and they knew I would move my business if they did not pay(they did not pay and even the customer service guy said it was 100% UPS fault). Proved to me they did not care at all. The brown color they use in their logo does stand for their service as well  FedEx: I must say FedEx was, and is, one of my best shipping companies I have. They have denied maybe 2 claims out of about 60 rods broken over 3 years. They are fantastic and their customer service is 2nd to none! They go out of their way to cover claims and if any re-routing needs to occur to get an item to a customer they do everything they can to make it happen. IMO go with FedEx whenever you can. My only issue with them is they are a little $$$ on rod shipment. SpeeDees: Fantastic service and the lowest prices for ANYTHING by far. They break about 50% less rods vs FedEx but they do not pay out very much on insurance claims. I do have to eat it with them a lot but the lower shipping over time makes up for the lack of insurance payouts so they get high marks from me and I use them whenever I can for anything above 1lb in the Midwest. They are also very very fast for delivery. Accuracy for delivery is about 98% but when they mis-deliver they do go back out and really try to get your package to the correct address. High marks for both FedEx and SpeeDees. JMO, James | ||
