I find that whoever the vendor is, the UPS+USPS "Surepost" or the FedEx+USPS "Smartpost" is a long delivery time. Always seems to add a day at each switchover from one company to the other. I always picture disgruntled USPS workers saying "That UPS [or That FedEx] thinks they're gonna take our jobs". So they put their stuff in the back of the que.

It's always faster if it's USPS alone, or UPS alone or FedEx alone.

And Amazon kicks everyone's butt in speed of delivery. Sometimes same day. Some of those other vendors don't even acknowledge my order by the time Amazon will get it delivered.
