Why do companies use DHL or USPS?

I'm so frustrated, I ordered my I-PAC and it was sent DHL.  I had it sent to the office because that's where I'm at during delivery hours.  Unfortunately, DHL doesn't deliever to my area, so they hand it off to the USPS.  The USPS won't deliver to our physical address, so now I have my i-pac stuck in limbo between DHL and the retards at the USPS.

I also ordered some buttons and such from X-Arcade and I gave teh physical address assuming it would be sent UPS.  Nope, USPS, and now my buttons and joysticks aren't going to arrive either.  I'm so freakin' mad right now.

The post office I guess is the main problem.  Why can't I give them an address and they deilver it to me?  That's a question I've asked them 100 times and they can't answer.  And people want our government handling our health care?  They can't even deliver a simple package...much less a baby.

Considering I'm in Oklahoma and get my DHL shipments from Ultimarc (based in the UK, mind you) THE DAY AFTER it has shipped, I've got no complaints about them. Three Ultimarc orders, and they're all here the very next day. (Without paying extra, either)

USPS has its ups and downs. I wish they gave proper tracking. Right now I have three orders coming from USPS, UPS, and Fedex, and so far the USPS got here fastest.

USPS is the only good shipper :P  But that's from the US to the Netherlands. DHL and UPS charge ridiculous extra amounts for administration or something (these are charged to the recipient and are not know upfront).

So go to the post office during your break... ::)

Stupid DHL delivers only working hours. Guess what, I WORK then. (I don't have a fixed working place). And so is my wife 3 days/week. NO re-delivery. Have to pick it up a freaking 15 km's from my home !!! Compare to USPS/TNT post : Re-delivery next day or pick up at neighbors OR at the post office, 800 meters from my house......

Andy has great stuff, but I hate it that he uses DHL only.
