Can I find out how much my shipment will cost?


FedEx Ship Manager Software and FedEx Ship Manager hardware allow you to get a
rate estimate for a shipment before you send the shipment information to FedEx
for processing. You can also display rate quotes automatically for all shipments
when you enter minimum shipping information. Rate quotes appear at the bottom of
the Shipment Details screen. Note: The rate estimate and actual shipping charge
may vary.

    button displays on the bottom of the Shipment Details screen.

based on the actual weight, dimensions and other factors. For details on how
shipping charges are calculated, consult the FedEx Service Guide.

 

How can I add my handling charges to the rate quote I receive from FedEx?


For your convenience, you can set up your FedEx Ship Manager Software or FedEx
Ship Manager hardware account so that your handling charges are added to the
rate quote you receive from FedEx. Handling charges are added to the actual
shipping charges by the shipper. These are not charges assessed by FedEx and are
not paid to FedEx.

    Default Domestic Shipping Profile) and click View/Edit.

    FedEx Express Preferences tab.

How can I make FedEx® Standard List Rates the default for FedEx Express shipping
labels?

 1.  Choose Shipping Profiles from the Customize menu at the top of the screen.

 3.  Click the FedEx Express Preferences tab at the top of the screen.
 4.  In the Label Format section, select Customize Document tab configuration.
     Click Doc Tab Configuration. The Doc Tab Configuration screen displays.
 5.  Select the Package Doc Tab Configuration tab. (This is usually the default
     tab.)
 6.  In the last column on the right next to the Shipping Field (first row), use
     your up/down arrow and select List Net Charge.
 7.  In the last column on the right next to the Total Field (fourth row), use
     your up/down arrow and select List Total Customer Charge.
 8.  Click OK. The View/Edit Domestic Shipping Profile screen displays.
 9.  Click OK. The View Shipping Profiles screen displays.
 10. Click OK. Your default is now FedEx Standard List Rates for FedEx Express®
     shipments.

What type of shipping label will I need?


Depending on the destination for the shipment you are sending, you will need to
prepare either a domestic or international shipping label. With FedEx Ship
Manager Software and FedEx Ship Manager hardware, you can prepare both of these
online and print them using your label printer or laser printer.

Can I print a label for a shipment that will be sent tomorrow?


Yes. You can process a shipping label up to 10 days in advance for FedEx
Express® shipments (5 days in advance for FedEx Express® Freight shipments).

U.S. domestic shipping

How do I ship a U.S. domestic package?


If you're shipping a package within the U.S. or Canada, click the Ship tab at
the top of the screen. Use the resulting Shipment Details screen to complete the
shipment information. FedEx Ship Manager Software and FedEx Ship Manager
hardware guide you through the steps to complete this task. For details, refer
to the User Guide. You can access online help by clicking F1 on any screen or
selecting Help Topics from the Help menu at the top of the screen.

When all required information for the shipping label is complete, you can
request a courtesy rate quote to preview shipping charges, cancel the shipment
or generate the shipping label, which is printed from your browser on a laser
printer.

What delivery signature options does FedEx offer?


FedEx® Delivery Signature Options are as follows:

 * Deliver Without Signature. Authorizes FedEx to deliver your shipment without
   the recipient signing for it, and authorize a FedEx Express® shipment to be
   left without a signature at a nonresidential address. When you select this
   option, you waive your right to hold FedEx responsible for any resulting
   claims. (Not available for FedEx Express® Freight services.)
 * Direct Signature Required (DSR). FedEx obtains a signature from someone at
   the delivery address and reattempts delivery if no one is available to sign
   for the package. Available for residential and nonresidential deliveries.
 * Indirect Signature Required (ISR). FedEx obtains a signature in one of three
   ways:
   * From someone at the delivery address
   * From a neighbor, building manager or other person at a neighboring address
   * The recipient can leave a signed FedEx Door Tag authorizing release of the
     package without anyone present.

    Available for residential deliveries only.


 * Adult Signature Required (ASR). FedEx obtains a signature from someone at the
   delivery address who is at least 21 years old and who has government-issued
   photo identification as proof of age. FedEx reattempts delivery if no
   eligible recipient is available to sign for the package. Available for
   residential and nonresidential deliveries. Required for alcohol shipments.

For FedEx Express and FedEx Ground® shipments, the following fees apply for
