It has been my experience that UPS Ground service is one of the worst in its
own category. I even remember tracking a package that was sitting less than
40 miles from me, in their facilities, waiting for the time to pass by so
that the package wouldn't be delivered too early.

Now, I avoid the UPS Ground service like the plague. One of the best service
I got so far is from FedEx, not perfect, but pretty good. Their ground
service doesn't suck as much as UPS' one does. US Postal Service is also
pretty good when you consider that a Priority Mail package with delivery
confirmation will get you around $5 for an average 3 days delivery.
