They are all notorious for it. If you check youtube, you can find videos of fedex, ups, usps, throwing and drop kicking packages. UPS is no worse statistically.
I ship a lot of items, and ups and fedex ground have the exact same travel times (as does 2-day, 3-day, ground select). I do however find that ups is more known for their ground shipping and fedex for air, and therefore fedex ground is a dollar or 2 cheaper than ups ground and ups air is about 2 cheaper than fedex air. I find that postal service is often quicker over long distances (California to chicago, for example). It is the cheapest option if the item is under 3 lbs or so, but once you go over that, fedex ground is the best price.
