We've used FedEx for years at my office, with very few problems although there have been several "failures" particuarly in the last ~2 years. These were mainly situations where the package was 1-2 days late per the specified delivery option, and they refunded the cost in each case.
Fortunately, I don't think they have hosed-up any mission critical shipments (like CHECKS in particular).
I have never used FedEx Ground as a shipper, as both USPS Priority and UPS have never failed me for non-overnight shipments, including international ones. For personal outbound shipments, it is a no-brainer to use UPS as I can print the label online and drop the package at the corner pickup point on my way to lunch. Screw waiting in lines...
I've gotta say, though, that the increasing tendancy of UPS to leave packages outside w/o signature is worrisome. There is someone here >90% of the time but I have found numerous packages, sometimes multi-100-dollar ones, left on the doorstep by UPS. WTF's up with that?
