Best way to ship Orpheum?

Post by John Billings »

I've heard so many horror stories about UPS that I'm thinking maybe USPS Priority Mail. What do you think? It's only Philly to Cleveland, can't cost that much. Of course Lucite is kinda heavy. My thoughts were that the least time it was in the system, the better.

Absolutely positively Fedex. I've had to sue UPS twice for damage, USPS just says' "gee, we lost your package. Sorry".
Never had a problem with FedEx in 20 years. Don't even get me started on Airborne Express...

I favor the USPS and have never had bad luck with instruments. However, if it does go wrong, your SOL.
