My experience is that UPS works a lot better in rural areas. When I lived in a small town off the freeway but otherwise in the middle of nowhere, UPS had a very small service center in town (open an hour a day because it was staffed by the driver) and kept 2-day deliveries on schedule. When the whole town was snowed in, they couldn&#x27;t get the trucks out, but still showed up at the service center so you could pick things up.<p>FedEx didn&#x27;t have a service center within an hour, always missed their delivery estimates, and a couple of times declared addresses undeliverable for no clear reason. When the town was snowed in, they just lost a package forever.
