Also matters that FedEx treats ground shipments entirely separate from their express (air) shipments.
UPS is one company from top to bottom.
FedEx (purple) and FedEx Ground (green) are two separate companies under the same brand. Many FedEx Ground routes are still owned by independent contractors that own the route they serve, a carryover from RPS days.

Edit: it matters to know what the carrier does for you as a customer, both as shipper and receiver. USPS, while great for normal mail, results in weeks and weeks of delays when your package is lost or damaged. The claim process alone makes it unappealing to ship with them, but 99% of the time end users only see the cost to them.
