I use fedex to ship a lot of big and heavy parts for many years . I use them because I get 80% off 2day shipping.
I shipped a evo I tranny and t.c. to chi for 45.00,short block to tx for 65.00, ect. they are great for me. I only had 1 problem with them droping a tranny I sent to WA but that was all taken car of for the guy in a few hours he had a check at his door to cover it from fedex. It is great to work for the airlines and get the huge discount.

Wow thats an amazing discount! Can't beat that.

I seem to use USPS the most; the flat-rate boxes are very convenient and delivery seems to generally only take 2 days.

Just wait until one of your packages is lost or damaged, USPS insurance is a joke and just try to get someone on the phone...

Very true, I've attempted to deal with them regarding their insurance and its worthless. If I did high-volume shipping I'd probably use FedEx.

that is how I send all my small stuff also. I have never had a big problem with it. I only had 1 small problem with it when I sent stuff down to a buddy in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. just took way to long and they could not track it when it hit south America till it got to the island. took almost a month for a flat rate box to get there when they told me no more than a week.

I trust FedEx over UPS and USPS. For smaller, low value stuff such as what Mark suggested the USPS flat rate boxes are awesome. I ship stuff with UPS typically because it's more convenient to find a UPS store than a FedEx one, and UPS is what my work uses. When I order stuff online it seems that it's almost always shipped FedEx, and if given the option FedEx is always cheaper.
