Harry, I don't think any of the main group have good records of "gentle handling". DHL is all but out of business, gone. FedX is about the same as UPS but I have shipped some very expensive items and the key is to insure the dickens out of it. They would not accept the package unless I agreed (I do all my shipping on line) to take the package to a store where they would open and inspect. I had to have the employee of the store sign the form that I was given for their approval.
I stopped in and the attendant did their thing, rewrapped the contents (at their expense) and of course it arrived in great shape. I did ship a very expensive antique clock to a family member and used an independent shipper in Louisville but that was 15 years ago and I can't remember who they were, but a search should find one for you.
