So first off before the you should buy from your LFS flamers spout off (they're a close relation to the tang police), the nearest big box pet store is 180 miles away and almost 200 miles for the nearest independent LFS.
Second I am not slamming and online vendor, everything I've ever ordered online has come in healthy and as advertised unless delayed by the shipping company.
So where I live if you ship something overnight VIA FedEX it takes 2 days even if the weather is san diego like and 3 to 5 if there's snow or rain with in 100 miles of PDX.
For UPS and the same weather conditions the package is always next day and on-time
While I do know both shippers have regional issues and are better in some regions or the other and a push in some places, I have almost enough store credit with LA for a peppermint angle (hyperbole of course, but not by much) due to the incompetence of the PDX/Beaverton/Bend FedEX hubs. I am to the point of only buying stuff from places that ship UPS which means I'm kinda screwed.
So my question to you is which of the major US carriers has killed more of you're livestock, rather it be fire your home tank or as a legit licensed seller?
Comments welcome
