Placed an order for a Sto-fen Omnibounce with Amazon, shipped from
Adorama.

Well, as of this morning UPS tracking had it 5 miles from my house.
So instead of finding it on the doorstep this afternoon, I find that
UPS has _mailed_ it to me by US Snail.

The more I deal with any delivery service that has a "U" in the name,
the more I appreciate FedEx.

I've never had a bad experience with UPS or FedEx. DHL on the other hand
is a complete joke.

Your USPS is better than either.

Maybe it depends on what part of the country you're in. Where I live
(Massachusetts), UPS is extremely reliable and often faster than they promise.
They're not especially cheap, but I think they're cheaper than FedEx. Their
only annoyance is that they refuse to be pinned down as to what time of day
they'll arrive, even when a signature is required.

Maybe you should have PAID for the faster delivery.

Nope. FedEx is consistently cheaper in every comparison I've made in
the last year. And more efficient, too.
