Even with UPS handling part of the shipment and then handing it off to the USPS it`s better than Fedex . Fedex bought a local distribution company and has lost so many customers .

Fed ex has TWO regional sorting facility's here. One 5 miles away for ground and one 15 miles away for freight.
packages come into the facility 5 miles away from ohio and are then shipped back to Ohio.
And this happens two or three times before it is sent back as yn deliverable due to address not found. BECAUSE THEY CROSS OUT THE PROPOER ADDRESS AND WRITE IN THE WRONG ADDRESS

Must be a regional thing with what kind of service one gets from which service as far as UPS or Fedex is concerned.

Down here UPS is fair to good, Fedex has been excellent and USPS was pretty good until politics got involved.

Fair point. The USPS was actually pretty good until the Postal Reform Act of 2006 which ultimately turned the organization into a profit generator.

USPS wasn't designed to generate a profit beyond what it needed to operate and pay it's legacy costs such as retirements and medical insurance co pays. Somewhere along the way, the word "service" has been forgotten.

USPS needs to trim the fat but in order to do so, they would have to sever contracts with UPS, FedEx and Amazon as they move a good percentage of their packages the last mile or in areas where it's not profitable for the aforementioned to travel to. Bear in mind that USPS also contracts with UPS and FedEx for airfreight services.
