Interestingly enough, at least around here, UPS is also the best delivery company. Decent prices, can get daily pickups, delivers on time, drives a company truck.

Half the time with FedEx you have no idea why a random truck is stopping to drop off a package. We also at my office always have to call them to do any pickup, the UPS guy just grabs outgoing when it delivers the incoming.

Which "FedEx" do you mean? That's the problem with them, there are multiple entities sharing the name.

FedEx Ground was an acquisition and re-branding. They operate using "independent business owners". Want to deliver packages? Buy a route!
