Fedex, UPS, or USPS?

Who should I go with to ship a guitar here in the USA? UPS, Fedex, or USPS? I've never shipped a guitar before, any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Avoid the USPS like the f**king plague! I would rank Fedex above UPS although they're essentially the same - I just find Fedex faster overall.

Whatever you choose, mummify the box and insure the hell out of it.

I use FedEx pretty much exclusively for shipments within the US

I stopped using UPS after repeated times where I specified a signature was required for delivery, and the shipment was left on the back porch because the driver determined it was a safe location. sorry - I selected and paid for that signature release requirement for a reason

all the best,

I use USPS most of the time.  I find them to be the most convenient in terms of location, and I've never had any issues with them.

I've never had any issues whatsoever with FedEx, UPS, or USPS.  I find them all to be reliable services.

yeah, I went with Fedex on this one, they were super reasonable, also, I found out our company has a corporate discount with Fedex
