here's my 2 cents,whats really important is not who is the fastest or the cheapest or even who has the best track record for getting gear to its destination undamaged,whats most important is which shipping company gives you the least hassle & is going to pay off a claim after some boob on a hi lo stabs his forks straight thru your package on the loading docks.
without a doubt in my mind ups is the way to go,ive had 9 items damaged durring shipping with ups & each time they paid me in full even when the damage claim was questionable.
now with fedex ive only had 3 damage claims & im 3 for 3 with fedex,deny deny deny even when the package arrived with water running out of it from being left in the rain on the loading docks.
its pot luck when your shipping gear & most of the time we get lucky & the package arrives safe but when it arrives in peices im always glad when its ups,i know im getting reimbursed.
