I have had a number of antique/vintage items shipped to mke not related to firearms. though I have not kept an exact count probably about an equal number arrived via USPS, UPS & Fed-EX.
To date the number of damaged/broken items are;
USPS = 0
UPS = 0
Fed-EX = 3
I did receive full reimbursement for all of them. These items were not necessarily rare or overly expensive, but still on anything which predates 1900 it gives you great disappointment to open a package & see it broken in half.
Maybe, Just "Maybe", but I seriously doubt that all the lousy packers just happened to pick Fed-Ex as their shipper.
One item did go to the wrong place, but that one was not Fed-Ex's fault, the shipper had placed the wrong address on it.
Right now thou from my personal experience my choices for a shipper are USPS #1, UPS #2 & Fed-EX a distant 3rd.
