I've had ok experiences with FedEx and relatively good ones with UPS, but I have a "grudge" against DHL because they don't work weekends (well, Saturday)!!

I've gone through too many instances when I had to wait an extra 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) to receive a package when I could've received it on Saturday if the sender had used UPS or FedEx.

UPS seems to deliver on or before its estimated delivery time, FedEx seems to push it until the last possible day, and DHL has always been right about its estimate (4 days for the Boston Area and 3 Days for the Chicagoland area with ground shipping), but again they don't work Saturdays!!

I agree, I have had tons of problems with DHL (Airbourne Express)

They are always very late....it takes a week and a half to go from CA to the Midwest with their standard shipping

Not sure what you're talking about. My x50v finally shipped this Friday via fedex next day air. It is here in Tampa on Saturday, but they aren't letting me pick it up, nor are they going to deliver it since it wasn't shipped via next day with saturday delivery. Apparently that's another $11 fee. They also aren't letting me pay the $11 to get it today. I have to wait till Monday.

I just got a package from Taiwan via Fedex

Shipped after hours on Wed.
Came in by 10:30 AM on Friday

Not bad at all for traveling half way around the world :)
