Yet, around here, FedEx is much, MUCH better than UPS. I am in charge of shipping/receiving at my job. We can ship things FedEx clear up to CANADA without incident, but we can't ship by UPS 300 miles to San Antonio. We use what the buyer insists. Last shipment destroyed by UPS (on a pallet mind you) looked like it had been dropped and run over. Acrylic pieces the same size as a standard 2X4 stud had been carefully packed yet they managed to break over half of them. Think about how hard it is to break a 3ft long 2X4 and you'll get the idea.

And this isn't the first time its happened, but the buyer won't switch.
