I am sorry you are having a problem and feel your pain. Good luck trying to get any insurance money from Fed X.
In my experience the USPS is more liable to ship something in one piece or to pay a claim if there is a problem. ALso, the people at the desk of many post offices have been easier to deal with than the other shippers, as a general rule. I have had trouble with USPS, UPS, Fed X and DHL. Have had less trouble with USPS and more and faster satisfaction when there was a problem. The other 3 have been about equally bad in my experience. I ship and recieve guns every week and it is rare to have a problem with the USPS. This won't help you now, but it may help you on your next transaction.
