FedEx Express is better at paying than FedEx Ground. They are really different companies.
Check this out. DHL broke a shipment of mine and called me because they wanted to pay only the wholesale cost of the model even though I insured it for invoice value. What's up with that? I told them I was factory direct to the customer and had no resellers in the USA. After a long wait and fight they finally paid the insured amount.....well almost the insured amount they deducted the shipping and handling fees so now I am out 2x shipping costs to the customer. Every shipping company has horror stories!

I found that out when I initiated a claim with FedEx when a molded R/C sailplane was received damaged from a vendor. Fortunately my credit card company sided with me and I got a chargeback until the vendor made good on the damage.
