Unless the billing address of your corporate card is your home address as well...

I prefer that everyone just ships me stuff through USPS because then when I have to pick it up, the post office is just a couple minutes away. With UPS I have to drive to Maple Grove, and FedEx I have to drive to St. Paul. I'm never around to pick up packages that require signing, so I'm pretty much always forced to go to the office. I even had one issue where RRE shipped me something that required a signature, AND they put a NO WILL CALL sticker on the box. So when they'd try to deliver it at noon on a Tuesday, Wed, Thurs all in a row, of course no one's there to sign for it, and I could not go pick it up in person because of the NO WILL CALL sticker. I did all I could, but could not get the box. They ended up shipping it back to RRE, and then RRE had to reship it to me without that sticker. Ridiculous.

I agree. USPS is the best option for me on shipping esp. with a PO Box. They keep the item in the building and I just come and pick it up on the way home.

UPS is not too bad since their depot for my area is less that 5 miles away. Great service too. I even get after hours service if I can't get there in time before they close.

Fedex delivery guys in my area are nice but the way to get a hold of them is crazy - no direct number.
