Never once has FedEx tried to bump the shipping cost if I go this route.
And do not think FedEx is great. They drop the ball from time to time also. Just try and get a damage claim completed and damages paid. Your best insurance is GOOD PACKING!
As for opening the box - FedEx often times just leaves the box at the front door - unattended.
All my deliveries are this way, regardless of carrier.
