I've only had one experience with stuff damaged during shipping. Shipped some bottles of wine from a vacation back home via Fedex 2 yrs ago. It was shipped in a wine box with some additional padding bought from them and I got home to see half of the bottles smashed and the box in very poor condition. They wanted to blame the box for not being strong enough but since it was them who helped me pack it properly before it shipped then it's their fault for the poor packing too. In the end they gave me a check for half the declared value which was good since I rounded up. I was a little annoyed they didn't refund the shipping cost because "the package did get there".
