I'm pretty sure right now FedEx would LOVE to cut you a deal.
Left Fed Ex earlier in the year. Have been using UPS next day since then. They have actually had better service over all. Have not missed one next day timeline. I do keep an eye on the weather though. UPS is more expensive, but Fed Ex can get up to 10 % next day timeline failures, sometimes. They are also cutting back on the types of goods they will ship because of their poor delivery success rate. UPS is also cutting back too. Not entirely the shippers fault, since they do not control the weather. For example, both have really drastic restrictions on shipping human consumables, but their enforcement of those restrictions varies from office to office. After reading their shipping restrictions, you would thing that no one could ship food, but many still do. In the end, they are both just simple freight services.
