Whenever I have to send packages anywhere, I always use FedEx ground. Always reliable, best tracking system, comparable prices. (After two seriously delayed UPS shipments, I switched to FedEx and haven’t used UPS since.)
I recently had a FedEx Ground package delivered by the USPS. The two organizations obviously have some kind of mutual delivery agreement.
UPS and USPS have partnered where UPS does the long haul and delivers to a local USPS office near the destination which handles final delivery. Seems like a strange way to do business as UPS has a regional distribution center about three miles from my house which has scores of trucks for local delivery.
