Fedex ground is awful. Fedex air is fine.
That is our experience, as well. It may vary from region to region -- the FedEx ground service uses contractors for local delivery. Our contractor seems to take pride in damaging as many items as badly as possible. I have witnessed them throw a heavy package from inside the truck to crash on the pavement (dropping from waist height inside the truck, so maybe 5 feet to the ground), then "rolling" the package (the box, I mean -- no hand truck) across the street, over the curb, up the walkway, and up the front stoop. We always specify "no Fedex Ground" before paying and cancel transactions when sellers will not agree. (For similar reasons, we specify "no USPS" for anything heavy -- leaving just UPS, which we have found to be the best of the ground carriers. YMMV and probably will.)
FedEx Express is, perhaps, the best of the carriers in our experience, but that ethic does not seem to have begun to seep into the Ground operation.
