Might want to think about what is being shipped and from where is probably your problem. Sorry.

sounds like someone on the other end is screwing you on your deals. I never have trouble with anything. I will leave it at that.

UPS is so unreliable because it's UPS. Those guys don't give a fuck. If you complain, they'll say, GO TO THE POST OFFICE and see how fast things get done.

Sorry to break it to you fellas but USPS is unbeatable. What you are gonna send packages UPS or FEEX where they can open whatever they please? I have never had a problem with USPS. Maybe its your source.

USPS has NEVER let me down...I think USPS is the way to go for anything that needs to be shipped...that's just my opinion though.

Dude, USPS, as in the U.S. Postal Service, is absolutely reliable. If someone is seriously sending you stuff and you are not getting it, you need to look out!
Many people in my family work for USPS. A member of my immediate family is a postmaster. I can guarantee you that the ol' "must have got lost in the mail" trick is still one of the biggest cons around.
I can tell you that to my knowledge I have never in my whole life had a single piece of mail "lost in the mail".
Once in a great great while you will hear about some mail carrier stealing something, but the ones that do are total psychos. Postal workers are given merit tests before they are hired, and are generally really intelligent people who often lack college degrees, and there are few other places that they could earn the type of living that they do which includes many benefits and retirement at age 55, so they're generally reluctant to risk their jobs (and a stiff federal prison term) looking through boxes and boxes of people's junk to find that one "real cool thing to steal".
Of the very few psychos that do steal, they're generally looking for checks or cash or things like that and not packages.
If someone truly dropped packages off with the USPS and you haven't got them by now but should have, then I think you may have a major problem on your hands.
I have to say that either you are getting screwed by a supplier or targeted by an agency, one or the other.

This is absolutely right on. I live in a small town and only know of one person who has been busted for steroids. He got busted because FedEx opened his package and tricked the gullible bastard into going and picking it up.
I don't mean to sound like an ad for the Post Office, but hell they have gotten really good these days. I sent a DVD to a buddy who lives over 200 miles away for under a buck I believe, and it got there in less than 24 hours!
And you can put all kinds of features on their like confirmation, priority, etc. and still be a lot cheaper than those UPS jerks, who give you three shots to be there waiting on them and then they want you to come pick your package up yourself!
I have seen USPS screw the pooch on many many occassions, is it anymore than fedx or UPS, not really. The fact is your dealing with humans and there will always be human error.
With the USPS your 4th amendment (at least I think thats the one) gaurantees your privacy. They can only open it if they have enough proof or if its leaking oil/powder etc.
