My experience UPS ground is good for short distances. Such as next state over. USPS Priority is usually 2-4 days depending on distance. UPS Ground can take up to 6 days. Here's a map from UPS.com. Of course the map is based on where I am. You can go to UPS.com, and click on calculate delivery time, and look at a map based on your area code.

 

Also UPS does NOT work weekends whereas USPS does.

USPS is cheaper too, in my experience. Shipping + insurance + Signature confirmation on a pedal through USPS is usually between $6 and $9 (depeinding on location). I've paid as much as $16 for the same through UPS. And yeah, never had a problem with speed of USPS delivery (except for the one time i forgot to add the apartment address...doh!)
