Do I actually trust the US Postal Service to deliver express packages this week at the time they claim? Or is that unrealistic?
FedEx is notably more expensive, though maybe also notably more reliable. UPS has never, in my experience, been particularly reliable, and they're not particularly cheap, either.
I have something that needs to arrive somewhere by Friday, for not at all the reason that everyone else needs that this week. While 2-day shipments are cheaper for all of the carriers, I'm tempted to pay the extra for 1-day, just so that they have an extra day to correct any mistakes. Is that realistically or unrealistically paranoid?
I'm all in a rush on this because someone missed his flight on Monday and had to stay an extra day...but I wouldn't have traded that for the world.
Thoughts?
