Made a purchase from Magpul this week. Went FedEx ground. Shipped 5/15 Cheyenne Wyoming. Delivered 5/18 9am. Perfect.
I generally get good service from UPS ground and USPS with the exception of when they work as a team-- UPS Mail Innovations. When UPS hands off to USPS the package can fall into a black hole. But I know that when I choose this shipping method to save money so I really can't gripe. I just don't bother to track it... saves on the aggravation.
