UPS may deliver more packages than FedEx or the other carriers but they are also less reliable. I remember a while ago I was sent a package that needed to be delivered to me ASAP. It was sent with the highest priority that UPS offered. It was supposed to be tracked, etc. The package didn't make it and they couldn't tell me where it was or who signed for it. In any case I FedEx'd the UPS corporate headquarters and regional headquarters a letter the next day letting them know how dissatisfied I was with their service. It got their attention but it didn't get my package to me on time.

FED EX the important stuff. I'd use USPS as a secondary shipper. I wouldn't trust UPS too much. UPS used to throw packages with thousand dollar content in my backyard with my dogs.

Good luck with the E98's. Something I do is scan the vintage items I send in to be graded. This way I have a record of the items in case anything should happen to them.
