[Yaesu] Why does anyone ship UPS?

So why do most hams use UPS?  Is it habit?  Is it that
they don't know about Fedex?  Are my experiences
unique and everyone else gets great service from UPS?
I have a couple of other stories about UPS that I
won't get into at this time.

Gee John tell us how you feel :-) don't hold back.  Over the years I've used
UPS, Fed-Ex & AirBorne.  I've found all three to be very similar.  I've
never had a problem on my end receiving any package from any of them.  I did
send a radio I sold to a ham in Washington state via UPS that I thought took
a day too long but he wasn't complaining.

I office out of the house (LaPorte TX) and my "office" is actually in
Schaumburg Ill.  The company has a contract with AirBorne and when we're
shuffling "stuff" back and forth they send me a pre-paid return label.
When I'm ready to send it back I just call a toll free number ... hit a few
tones on the phone ... go set it on the porch and they (AirBorne) come and
get it.
