Lots. Have had it happen to me twice the past year. USPS too.
I prefer FedEx if I'm having something shipped to me. USPS Priority if I'm shipping something out for its' price and availability.
FedEx misdelivered the snow tires I sold to someone here. The missed by a couple hundred miles  They eventually credited my shipping charges back to me but they screwed around for a week as to where the package was and even then the recipient tracked it down faster than FedEx was able to.
I've used DHL and UPS without any problems in the past. Bottom line is everyone screws up sometimes.

Oh yeah, I know. I didn't mean for my post to convey that I thought FedEx was perfect. They've misdelivered my packages before as well. I just prefer them because they tend to be faster than UPS in my experience.

DHL sucks major ass, with a bunch of fucktards who CLAIM they rang my doorbell, and knocked and waited. [censored], 3 [censored] cars in the driveway, shades open, and I see a "Missed Delivery"
Fedex is pretty damn good
UPS is also damn good, comes same time as FedEx
USPS is alittle later with mail delivery
DHL can lick my sweaty nut sack.

i receive UPS all the time and have never had one problem with them. I have shipped with them many times and never a problem. Two of my friends have UPS daily pick ups at their businesses because they send out packages everyday, never any problems. I use USPS shipping out daily, ive had a few minor issues with them, but hey, theyre cheap. im having an issue with Fed Ex as we speak. they cant get into my buidling and they dont leave "missed you" notes on the front gate. today is day 3 and im going to have to sit out front and wait for the truck which doesnt come till about 5:30. Ive ordered parts before only to have unscroupulous Fed Ex employees steal them en route. the box arrived torn open and empty. WTF is that?! the driver was like, "i thought it was kinda light, but though maybe it was a poster." uh, hello? and the top of the box ripped open?? Ive talked to other businesses who said they have had many problems with Fed Ex. the one that was sending the package to my wife which was screwed up by DHL said they have been having many problems and are working on going with a new service.

I like USPS Priority for speed and price. UPS for shipping bigger or heavier things. Fedex for normal packages. Would not use DHL unless I had to.

my company use to use ups,but we had a problem with missing items,espcially ones that went through the syracuse,ny terminal...so we went with airborne,now dhl...very few missing or damaged items....although i can remember once when we first started using them our payroll showing up in one of our vermont stores....it took them 9.5 hours to call us and tell us were they were
