I have been quite lucky in the past as this is the first time i have had something arrive to me broken
Was it shipped in just that thin box, with no other packaging? If so that's the shop's fault not Fedex's.
It also has to be said that the Bluesbreaker is a very poor design structurally - the whole weight of the very heavy chassis is held only by those six woodscrews in the back. If the amp has been apart more than a few times it isn't unusual for the threads in the wood to be quite worn or even stripped completely - at the very least, they should be bolts with T-nuts behind the side rails.

To Belgium - DHL (Lonestar combo, damaged)
To England - DPD (jmp head, damaged)
From Scotland - UPS (Lonestar head, damaged)
All more than adequately packed with polystyrene, bubble wrap and heavy duty cardboard boxes.
Its worth noting that all the amps took at least an extra 24 hours to arrive from what was originally selected. I’d also add that I believe conveyor belt systems in sorting depots are to blame for a lot of damages.

apart from that I’ve shipped all over the world with a variety of couriers (including a Cornford Mk50 to Thailand) and never had anything damaged or received anything damaged
The key things are that packing the item really really well is hugely important, and that all couriers are actually quite similar
Clearly not the couriers fault based on that photo. Pack an amp in just cardboard - it is going to get damaged!
