I don't recommend UPS either:

I've used both with great success, though many years ago I had a lot of trouble with UPS to one particular area.

I worked the morning sort at Fed-Ex Express, part time, for a year and a half while in between full time employment. One of the few places, along with UPS, that you can get benefits for part time work.
Once the sort starts, there is some major ass-busting that goes on. Boxes are flying everywhere especially at Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers Day and such. Same for UPS.
Everything is about speed. Delivering is just as tough.
This guy was terrible but he is not the norm.
Yes, get the insurance.
Fed-Ex Ground is, I believe, a contracted out division of Fed-Ex.

If you ship something at the post office the cost of insurance is determined by the value of the item (what it was sold for or purchased for prior to shipment). They usually have rates like an item priced between $1-$50, $51-$100 and so on, youd have to check the UPS or Fed-X website. If the item is damaged and the buyer or person receiving the package is unhappy with a damaged item's condition they can then request the insurance receipt slip from the seller/sender and then (bringing slip and item) can relieve the item to the postal service company and receive ticket price back for that item.
