Do NOT ship UPS. Those *******s will find a way to screw up the

Good advice for packing. As another data point, our bike shop's
experience is exactly the opposite for the two shipping companies
mentioned.

Same here, Fedex today dropped off a package, never rang the bell or
knocked on the door and left without a signature...

And they always do that, even leaving packages outside or in the rain...

UPS on the other hand always wants to tell me hello (and probably to get
something cool to drink)...
