Are there any general recommendations about which freight companies are the best to use? I've bought things in the past where the shipper has used UPS, with disasterous results, and have also received items via DHL and even the US post office, (shipments from both of these carriers have arrived intact). Recently, I purchased two items at the VCA Auction in Las Vegas that were sent to the local Craters and Freighters for a shipping quote. My general impression is that they have a good reputation, but I've been calling them daily since last Thursday, and although I've been promised each day that someone will call me back, I've yet to hear anything from them. I'm not certain whether this is to be expected, or whether I should consider it cause for alarm.
