UPS has a rep for frequent breakage and stone walling insurance payments in the musical instrument world. They have also broken more than one firearm that I know of, one for a poster here.
I have shipped a number of firearms thru FedEx and have never had a loss or breakage. Just has to go to a FFL and be signed for. NBD to me.
Of course I pack stuff for a trip to Mars too, but I've had some thinly clad and fragile things make it to me by way of FedEx. Cudda just been luck but they made it.

JMO of course
