I Have Had Perfect Track Record with UPS International
In Response To: Shipping rule #2 ()


While, historically, there may have been some disparity between the service record of FedEx and UPS, in international shipments, I would be surprised if there is much of a difference at present. I have shipped dozens of watches internationally using UPS, and their track record has been perfect. I wonder whether there is any real difference, in the current era? I would think that both FedEx and UPS use the same sorts of tracking and security systems, with their workforces having similar integrity, etc.

Sounds as though shipping into the U.K has gotten a bit dicey lately, regardless of carrier (or are these just two instances of bad luck?).
