UPS and FedEx freight shipping reliable?

Item I want to sell weighs 80 lbs unpacked, measures 25 x 18 x 11, kind of like a large desk. 

How reliable (i.e. not damaging items) are UPS and FedEx freight? I've had problems with their home and ground service damaging my package.

Would they do the packing and find the right box and materials for the item themselves, or is that the shipper's responsibility? Do other freight shipping companies have online tracking/delivery confirmation if I choose to use a different company?

Two recent FedEx Freight experiences.
Both times, very heavy monoblocks strapped to pallets.
Steller service with absolutely no problems.
They came to the pick up with a pallet truck and lift gate and handled the entire loading operation.
Fairly inexpensive too.
Highly recommended method of shipping heavy and fragile stuff.
