I ship things via UPS, but always like to have things delivered via FedEx. Reason Being:

UPS makes you hang around the whole day waiting for a shipment unless it's next day AM, otherwise your stuck waiting until 7pm for UPS to knock at the Door.

But FedEx has the cutoff times (1030am, 3pm, 430pm is the latest i've seen) so at least you know when to expect it by.

They are also good in regards to picking up packages if you've missed a delivery attempt. UPS makes you wait until after 6pm usually before your allowed to pick up a package. FedEx usually has the package back at the location within the hour, so you can pick it up at anypoint during the day.

Just ordered an HP Entertainment Center about an hour ago. and it's good knowing that within 12 hours thanks to fedex it'll be at my doorstep.
