Default Best company to ship with

I have been selling off some of my aftermarket products and have had to ship from the next county to the other end of the country. I have used UPS to ship everything simply because they are right by my house and its just easy. However, they wanted to charge me 22 bucks to ship a billet grille to carolina from florida and I paid 11 bucks to ship stock handles that the guy gave me 12 for. From you guys who have shipped stuff, what is the best company that you have found to ship with. P.S. I have shipped everything from side NERF bars to small things like handles, so advice on anything helps. Thanks

USPS is usually cheaper if you want to wait in line.

I usually ship with my FedEx account because you get a discount with the account. I have also found that those people are much more pleasant and generally cheaper than UPS. I can't stand USPS though.

My wife had a package stolen by a DHL Employee, 2 weeks ago, they won't do anything to help her get the $225 back, DHL Sucks ***. They are amatures when it comes to shipping.....NEVER USE DHL.....EVER......

DHL was the shipper for my cell phone when I got a new one.

They could not find my house TWICE! Come on dumbasses, its called mapquest and GPS.
If your job is to ship stuff you should at least know how to read a map and use the resourses that are out there for anyone to use.

Never again will I rely on them.

USPS lost one of my packages for a month and had no way to track it even though I got the insurance, showed up at the guys house after 30 days....Otherwise I have had good luck with them and they are pretty cheap.

I use DHL and never had a problem. I shipped my stock grill from Louisiana to Massachusettes for $9.
