Any of the shipping companies can suck on any given day but by far FedEx ground is the worst from my experience!! In the past I've had them leave 4-6K valued packages at my store front door with no signature for 2-3 hours before I open!!

Sorry, not trying to upset you more, just the truth. I have had a few packages in the past lost for a few days and then recovered. So there still is hope!!!
Amen to that!

I always have guitars shipped to me overnight (unless I pick it up in person at Mark's!); it's worth the upcharge for the piece of mind, and the much better service.
