Not USPS?

I distrust FedEx. Seen the condition of shipped guitars and have
watched them deliver packages to the house when they think no one is
home. The last one delivered a package from Amazon. I happened to be
upstairs watching through a window. He got 15 feet from our front porch
and then just tossed it up onto the porch. I tried to get downstairs
and out the door to catch him but it was too late. He had booked it
down the driveway and onto the road.

I think FedEx is now structured as a franchise type operation. Those
who deliver "buy" a route. I think they also either buy or lease the
delivery truck.

UPS and USPS is better than FedEx IMO and experience of shipping over
100 fragile guitars all over the country in the past 4-5 years.
