From my experience USPS has given me much better results, and I put them above both FedEx and UPS. Especially above FedEx!!! I refuse to ever use FedEx after their gorillas busted up a wooden packing crate built especially to ship my Rolling Block in! Broken stocks, bent tangs, and it appeared they were tossing out of trucks!
I bought a .520 dia round ball mold off a guy, USPS says it was delivered on the 15th and I ain’t seen it. I looked in the mailbox early this morning and it was there, my mail doesn’t come till late afternoon. It had to show up on Sunday.

Perhaps a neighbor received it and redelivered. Happens a lot around here since jimmy retired.

I have had decent results with FeDex, but have never once had good results with UPS. A friend had ordered a metal item to put together himself from Northern Tool and Equipment that was delivered by UPS with every single piece bent or broken. It had tire tracks on both sides of the package in at least 3 directions. His security cameras showed the UPS driver throwing it out, backing over it, leaning out the door and spitting on the package, then leaving. He sent a copy of the footage to Northern Tool and FedEx delivered the replacement in pristine condition.
Amazon takes too long to deliver if you are not a prime member.

At the moment I have an abundance of stuff coming thru the USPS (YUCK) .
Two packages arrived in Richmond VA Saturday via tracking number of the USPS and both sat there until Monday afternoon when they decided to send one on the truck that arrived in Orange Tuesday morning . The second package which happens to be a Mannlicher Schoenauer Carbine 30-06 I bought from a guy in Maine for some unexplicable reason remained there and wasn't put on a truck until later today so SUPPOSEDLY it'll arrive here Wednesday more then likely Thursday if it actually does arrive .
Let me just say I think the United States Postal Service S..U..C..K..S plain and simple .
UPS has busted up some stuff we received and or sent , but the USPS just plain screws up constantly . Fedex doesn't deserve any mention as I wouldn't send thru them unless they were the last carrier on earth .
