FedEx, USPS and UPS are the most commonly known shippers in the United States, both domestically and to international destinations. However, each shipper comes with its own unique policies and have their own strengths and drawbacks. USPS is the best option for those concerned about price, while FedEx and UPS earn the highest marks for the dependability of their service.
Key Takeaways:
- The USPS prices were best for next-day delivery in all cases and for third-day delivery in 88 percent of our city pairs. FedEx, however, was the least expensive courier for second-day service in every instance.
- Priority Mail was a dollar to a few dollars cheaper than the $13.45 medium flat-rate box for the Postal Service’s “Two-Day” delivery option. (In either case, however, the post office estimated that those “Two-Day” packages would actually be delivered on the third day.)
- Although neither FedEx nor UPS would divulge its on-time performance data to us, both carriers delivered more than 98 to 99 percent of their packages on time year-round, with minimal declines during the hectic holiday season.
