In fact, Fed Ex ground will beat UPS out of Omaha on most packages. It depends on where it's going, weight, box dimensions, etc. Always worth checking.Either way I think we can all agree that USPS is pretty inept at delivering, ANYTHING. I can ship a saw pretty much anywhere in the country for under $25 with UPS, same saw is at minimum $40 using USPS. The UPS package will arrive sooner and in better condition to you door by a professional. The USPS most likely will be waiting for you at a office that is open from 9-11 and 1-3 completely eliminating any option of a working person ever being able to actually get their package.
Did I mention I think the USPS is a joke?
Amazon is getting into the shipping business, so help may be down the road (no pun intended).
