I had a package delivered by LaserShip last week. The experience was fine for me, it was delivered around noon without damage. A women delivered the package and was driving what seemed to be her personal mini-van with a sticker on the side.

Interesting. I had no idea LaserShip was using that model. I have only ever seen branded trucks and assumed they were a UPS type of service.

Ditto on the mixed results. Although they once delivered a package to us at like 9PM on a Sunday. Unfortunately it was nothing exciting, hah.

I've had 5 packages in my life delivered by laser ship, and they fucked it up in various ways each time. I hate when I see a laser ship tracking number.

Here in Michigan, I've had quite a number of packages delivered by a company called Prestige. Similar thing: "independent contractors" using their own vehicles. Same mixed results.

Weird. We have a last mile shipper on the west coast they used to use called OnTrac and it seemed to work just fine. I'm not sure if they are still using them though since I think they have a contract with USPS now (even on Sundays).

LaserShip is the absolute worst. I've lost at least 3 packages to them.
