I have used both and I would say FedEx is better(my opinion based on my dealings with them).
But I did take a tour through the Edina UPS hub here in Minnesota, and let me tell you, everyone from the sorters up top to the BigRig loaders beat the ever living stuffing out of the packages.
When I was there, the only time the packages were handled with "care" was when they were loading the little Brown trucks for local Edina deliveries.
I bet FedEx does the same, but I have never had a damaged box delivered to me from them, I have from UPS though.
Assuming you are there to sign for it(wich I know is not always a possability because most times they just leave it no matter what)why would anyone except a package with even a small amount of damage to the outside? When ever I get a package(or I tell my fiance' to do this)that has even the slightest amount of damage, I don't sign for it until I have inspected the contents, the driver has to stay until you either sign for it, regect it, or o.k the contents if you suspect damage.
