Perhaps I should have titled it, "Worst and Best of the Worst Government Agencies".

Daniel, I do print all my labels online. I still haven't had problems in terms of delivery. Now whether I can get tracking to work properly is a different story.

Favorite: Department of Education. Great example of government failure, and it's a very easy dead horse to beat. I don't think anyone likes them.

Least: The fed. They screw up everything, and they're good at keeping a low profile.

al gore the idiot:
US Post Office - Excellent customer service - beats UPS hands down.

Seriously? Those employees must have been trained by Disney. The ones in my area aren't necessarily too nice nor to helpful.

Open on Saturdays.

So is UPS.

Perhaps just one lost package out of the last 2 to 3k shipments over the last 11 years

You're an exception. If you print labels online, you'll be lucky to get the labels scanned and entered into the system.

My favorite: NASA, I love the idea of space travel, and you gotta admit going to the moon is an impressive(if unnecessary and wastful) technological achievement.

Least favorite: oh boy thats a tough one....But I'm gonna go with the Fed, simply because most other government agencies couldnt exist without it.

Not sure how you classify these in your system, but the Fed, the FDA and the FTC could burn for all I care.

Favorite: Department of Energy. The funded the Human Genome Project (weird right?)

Least Favorite: Department of Education. It's a vampire we need to stake through the heart before it turns our children.

I hate USPS. It has lost over 300 dollars of stuff I have shipped, and it was not from just one incident.

Favorite and Least Favorite Government Agency

Favorite:

US Post Office - Excellent customer service - beats UPS hands down. Open on Saturdays. Perhaps just one lost package out of the last 2 to 3k shipments over the last 11 years. And that lost shipment, I am not sure if the customer was truthful or not.

Least Favorite:

HUD - horrific agency riled with corruption of the highest degree. Has perpetuated poverty and instead of alleviating affordability, has exacerbated it. Has been responsible for tearing up vibrant historic neighborhoods and turned them into dumps.
