Every box i get from fedex looks like it had to go through one their "lets see how fragile this really is" tests. One time i though i got a round box. I was like cool i wonder which smart *** decided to make round boxes until i noticed that all four corners were smashed in smh. UPS and USPS ive had no problems with and are both cheaper than fed ex.

I have only used fed ex a couple times and they have all been bad experiences.
I use UPS a lot and have had pretty good luck. I do get hammered with brokerage but I usually get the part a lot faster so its worth it to me

If you are a start up or limited budget user USPS can work for you. But if you are moving lots stuff, both ways, like we are, they blow.
Fedex is easier to deal with, but the multiple company thing can get aggravating. (Fedex Ground, Freight, and Express are technically three different companies). I prefer Fedex website tools over UPS.
At the end of the day, imagine what they are dealing with, commerce shipping to individual customers increases 100X each year. LOL They are loving the margins but hating the disastrous logistics of it all.
Chinese vid, but I have seen this from UPS and Fedex as well. Our UPS driver, that ****** throws **** like it is made out of rubber. I can only imagine what his delivery to damaged goods ratio is. There isn't a day that goes by he is missing packages. His truck is packed top to bottom when he comes here, two to three times a day sometimes.
