Don't paint with too broad of a brush, "Rocky".

FedEx Express drivers are employees, but the Ground and Home Delivery drivers are independent contractors who got the route via a bid. They are not created equal.

When I was the global logistics manager for a large specialty chemicals company, I spent $15,000 a week on UPS and FedEx shipments. By a huge margin, FedEx was far more reliable, and over time we got to using them 95% of the time.

First Rays has used FedEx for 12 years now, and I can count the issues I've had on one hand.

One thing I would encourage you to consider is having it shipped to a business address - it is cheaper, and unlikely to "stumble" over gated community issues.
