None of the parcel services ship animals at all.

There has been NOTHING wrong with the USPS shipping animals and other sensitive merchandise until Republicans decided they wanted to destroy, chop up, and make profit off of the vast infrastructure of the Post Office.

Despite anecdotal problems and perception of the USPS as a "bad agency" it has the highest public approval of any government agency.

FedEx and UPS are better at marketing themselves than USPS and they carry such fewer volume than USPS that they can focus on speed of delivery of parcels.
