For ground shipping, FedEx provides better service...

For ground shipping, FedEx provides better service at a lower cost. I had been going to this UPS store when I thought UPS Ground was cheaper. One day, I was trying to ship a package and didn't have any tape. Having the store tape it up was going to cost $2. The clerk told me that it would cost the same if I did the taping using their tape. I wound up going to FedEx Office (on 14th between K and I), which charged less for the shipment and provided tape at no extra cost. I have been going there ever since.
