I've never lost any packages through USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL. However, in my experience FedEx is consistently faster and easier to work with (speaking as a renter). I like how I can just go to their office after 4:30 to pick up a package.. no need to call like with UPS. FedEx usually beats their shipping time estimates by 1 day in my experience.
Also, FedEx Ground is cheap, fast, and reliable. I always ship packages via FedEx Ground unless it absolutely needs to be there overnight or 2nd day. Then Express. I think I've paid maybe $12 to ship an 8 pound box via FedEx Ground. Doubt you can do better with anyone else.
StanT: When I still lived with my parents, all couriers simply left their packages on the door. Why? Because they live in the middle of nowhere. As I recall, that goes for you too. Perhaps you should ask FedEx to let you sign a paper authorizing them to leave packages on the doorstep if you aren't home.
