I have found UPS and FEDX ground to be virtually interchangeable relative to ground service. FEDX still has the edge in Overnight, or 2 day. I avoid the USPS like the plague. I like FEDX a little better because I can drop stuff at the local Kinkos real quick. They have excellent service. YMMV. FedX seems (note the words seems, I have no scientific proof) to take better care of the packages, just my observations. Bock

Bock I'm a certified live animal shipper with UPS and they have done a great job with my geckos being shipped overnight. They have been on time about 99.9% of the time and I ship quite a bit with them, have since 2001. Great consistency. Locally FEDEX has a spotty record, has been improving lately. I find a lot of times damage comes from improper packaging vs. handling. You can drop UPS packages prepaid off at the UPS store, drop boxes or anywhere you can meet a driver. I meet them at their last local meeting place to ship overnight, if you ask the local drivers they can tell you where the last pickup is. Reason for edit: clarify
