I use USPS if I need it quick and cheap, and FedEx ground/express if I need it guaranteed there. I will never use DHL or FedEx home if at all possible.

Fedex ground seems to be the cheapest on larger items and they do deliver on time.
I also like USPS for fast shipping on smaller items, those flat rate priority boxes aren't bad either. Packages always delivered on time. Convenient too.

First choice UPS 3 day (Good tracking, and reliable)
Second: Fedex 2 day ONLY Never ground (Tracking sucks but 2 day is good)
Third DHL Used them 5 times always gets her fast.
Forth: USPS SUCKS SUCKS keeps going up in price, unreliable no tracking

I shipped with FedEX because my Dyson Vacuums would arrive not damaged like they did when I shipped by UPS or DHL.

The only times I've had stuff shipped by DHL it was during the winter, and every single time my shipments sat in DHL centers for an extra day because of snow storms or something.

Lesson: only use DHL during the warmer months for wherever it is the package may be traveling through.
