Fedex or USPS Cheaper?

Ok... I have been wondering about getting a fedex account to save on some shipping fees for subs back from PSA.. has anyone used this, if so, is the difference in price?

I have read other threads in which they state if lost in FedEx you are SOL, since they do not insure sportscards...

Any help would be great

    "...since they do not insure sportscards..."

    fedex.com

    seems to note that they insure anything that
    complies with the terms of the "added services"
    section.

    .................

    fedex to Canada sometimes requires the payment of
    "surcharges" by the recipient. If the recipient refuses
    to pay, the sender's account will be billed.

    Canadian EBAYers don't want to pay such charges -
    can't blame them for that - and may NEG their sellers
    if the issue comes into play.

    .................

    USPS Priority, Insured, w/SigCon or DC works just fine for
    PSA shipments.

    ..........

    fedex is good for documents that need to go fast. I have never
    use it for much else. (Though if you have a REALLY large item
    that needs to be specially packed, fedex might be a good option.)

    fedex is the only way I go these days... cards come back from PSA much faster at about 1/2 the cost... sure USPS you get better insurance but I'm not a big time subber so it works for me!

    I have the worst luck with FedEx, of 9 shippments I've had from them, 5 damaged. None of these were sportscards.

    Recieving across the border is a nightmare for Canadians as storms post states.


    But shipping within the US with them is probably fine. I just wanted to complain about them. image
