I would look at the logistics. Which company in going to get it there faster? EVGA doesn't mess around, once they get your item, they get the step up item out as soon as they can.

I like Fedex better since they normally get stuff to me in the morning or a day early with UPS your always at the button of the list unless your having it delivered to your work place since UPS delivers to business's first at lest where I live that is I've never seen any thing from them before 6:00 pm

It depends on where you are for pricing. They are all generally fairly good at delivering the package. Just make sure you get insurance for the price of your card, just in case.

I prefer USPS because it's cheaper and usually faster. FedEx would be my next choice. I wouldnt ship anything UPS, they're terrible.

Fedex is a tad better in my area than UPS .... but really they are all getting to be the same as USPS ( high volume, bad service trying to be too fast )

Everyone seems to hate UPS in this thread, but for my experience it was FEDEX that is garbage, and UPS was always faster and didn't crush my boxes. Guess it just matters by region.

I've never had any issues with UPS. Considering 99% of my prime stuff comes via UPS I've maybe had 1 issue ever and it was more how the contents were packaged. Well I guess now a lot of prime stuff is now shipped UPS surepost which means it gets handed off to USPS but overall each of them have their own pros and cons.

I just shipped a PSU to EVGA via USPS and for the bubble wrap plus shipping it out priority 2-day flat rate was 15 dollars and some change. It did arrive a day late to EVGA but this can happen to anyone. I personally prefer Fedex mainly due to the fact that's who I ship reptiles overnight through and never had issues. Just issues with UPS...or more accurate oops.

for whats its worth,Over the years if your package gets messed up,stolen USPS is the worst and longest to get things sorted out and refunded .UPS/FED-EX dont take as long to get things moving and resolved.To me that counts for a huge part of my choice .Good luck
I generally always use UPS shipping from Maine - Cali + more , and have had no issues in 9 years,1 time 10 years ago a package was stolen when left for signature delivery at my home.
I had a package sent to me via USPS that was stolen,claimed delivered with no signature by anyone at my home according to USPS(package had sig required ).
That issue took almost a total of 3 months before i had funds returned to my account.I had to put way to much effort into proving my loss when it was clear they lost it in the system ,or was stolen as it never even made it into my local USPS to go out for delivery.They fought me more then tried to make things right.

I guess it depends on where you live. Everytime something was shipped to me it has arrive late and/or been damaged (at least the packaging). One time I had a stainless exhaust kit shipped to my house and the delivery driver chucked it out of the back of the truck into my driveway, I was like wow what a jerk.

lots of variables for sure, plus I guess it doesn't help if the driver acts like that. Seems like the only way something gets done about that type of stuff is catching them in the act and having the video go viral on youtube.

Always when some package arrive UPS Serbia was correct and bring me package as fast as possible.
But when if I need to send some package I need to use national post because it's 1/5 of Fedex price or DHL.
For one graphic card to send to Germany with plane and tracking number is 24e.

The UPS driver in my neighborhood is a complete asshat. He dropped my aluminum drive shaft like 6 feet from the truck to the ground. When I confronted him about it he just blew me off like nothing happened. I called UPS and let them know I like them as a company, but they have lost my business due to that guy.
