I concur: After using UPS exclusively for a few years, I now use FED EX ground almost exclusively for what I call small stuff, and FED EX express saver for larger sailplanes that don't require me to use airfreight service. What I have found in shipping via any shipper is that the human on the customer service end to a large part, determines the rate you pay. This is somewhat true with FED EX in my experience, and especially true with airfreight where I save up to $100.00 dollars per shipment because the freight agent likes me and takes off all the bogus "extras" that I could be paying. I always ask for a quote before shipping at either place or a written copy of the transaction.
