Where I live, Royal Mail are excellent. They are conscientious and almost never fail to turn up when they say they will. I always try and make sure they are the carrier used when I buy stuff on line. Amazon are high on my boycott list, so irrelevant to me and the rest are utterly dire. I used to think no-one could be as bad Yodel but DPD are very close.

UPS are, generally, one of the better ones, but can still be poor occasionally.
