Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get familiar with FedEx Express services
FedEx offers many solutions for your company's mailing and printing needs. Visit the FedEx Business Solutions site to narrow down your choices.
I recommend: FedEx Business Solutions supports companies of all sizes by providing a centralized link to FedEx resources, including the
FedEx Small Business Center. Here you can compare services, set up an account or take advantage of special promotions.
Handle all your mailing needs quickly with FedEx Express services
FedEx Express services include a standard and expedited option for small packages or freight. Send packages weighing up to 150 pounds by the 2Day or FedEx Express Saver options if you have more time and want to save money. Expect the FedEx Express courier service rate applied to same-day deliveries to come at a premium.
I recommend: FedEx offers many
delivery options. Send packages of up to 150 pounds by FedEx Standard or Priority Overnight for next business-day delivery. In emergencies, try
FedEx Expedited Services. A courier comes to your business, picks up the delivery, boards a plane and personally delivers the package the same day. Send items from 151 to 2200 pounds to all 50 states through
FedEx Express Freight Services or to more than 50 countries through
FedEx Express Freight International.
Use interactive tools with Federal Express to save time and money
Now that you have found the right FedEx Express service for your business needs, take advantage of FedEx interactive tools such as an easy-to-use rate tool, store locator and tracking system.
I recommend: To find the best price and mode of delivery for your needs, check out the
rate tool. Use the
location tool to find a FedEx near you. Type in either a ZIP code, address or phone number. FedEx returns a list of nearby stores and pickup sites, including addresses, services provided by each site and FedEx Express pickup times. Once the package is gone, follow its progress by using the tracking tool. Simply type the
FedEx Express tracking number found on your mailing label to view the pickup time and to find out if the package is en route or what time it was delivered. Use the built-in email option to forward delivery details to staff or clients.
