UPS and FedEx freight shipping reliable?

Item I want to sell weighs 80 lbs unpacked, measures 25 x 18 x 11, kind of like a large desk. 

How reliable (i.e. not damaging items) are UPS and FedEx freight? I've had problems with their home and ground service damaging my package.

Would they do the packing and find the right box and materials for the item themselves, or is that the shipper's responsibility? Do other freight shipping companies have online tracking/delivery confirmation if I choose to use a different company?

OP-


shipping/receiving seems to be territory dependent. Meaning, in some locations it is excellent, like mine, while others have issues with their UPS/Fed Ex deliveries. gdnrbob has very good info for you.

Make certain that everything is insured to the hilt. Maybe even a little over-insured to protect everyone involved.
