The difference with Fedex is that they WILL pay for the damage.
UPS tries tooth and nail to not pay and the USPS just ignores you
or cheats you. I even had a congressman try to make USPS pay on
a damaged item claim, and they still refused. Fedex is still the best
and they RARELY if ever have broken anything I shipped.
