Is FedEx Shipping right for me?

FedEx Shipping allows you to ship your packages online saving time and reducing costs.  FedEx Shipping allows University departments to ship packages via FedEx.com or at any FedEx Office Store. 

Shipping a package

FedEx.com puts powerful shipping tools in your hands. The "Create a "Shipment" process allows quick, streamlined package label generation using address books, shipping preferences, and values preset by your FedEx.com Administrator.

You can also use "Shipping History" to track packages, reprint your labels and receipts, void shipments made within the last 24 hours, and initiate news shipments using packages in your "Shipping History" as a starting point.

Getting Your Package on the Move

After you've prepared your package for shipping it's time to get it on the move. Creating a shipment using the FedEx.com website DOES NOT automatically schedule a pick-up. Please follow one of the options below to make sure your package departs on time.

FedEx Office Stores:  If you prefer to drop the package off at one of the conveniently located FedEx Office stores on campus or near your home, follow this link https://www.fedex.com/locate/index.html?locale=en_US# to locate FedEx Office store closest to you.

FedEx Drop Boxes:  If you prefer to drop your package into one of the drop boxes located on campus, follow this link https://www.fedex.com/locate/index.html?locale=en_US# and select drop box shipping.   Please note the pick-up time of the drop box you've selected on the website to ensure that you have not missed the day's last pickup.  Pick-up times are also located on the drop boxes.  Drop boxes are only to be used for express shipments and are intended for small packages and letters.  If you have a larger package or are using a service other than Next Day or 2nd Day express please follow one of the other options discussed below.

Daily Pick-ups:  If your building/department has a daily pickup, prepare your shipment and leave it in the spot designated by your building for the driver.

Desktop Pick-ups:  You may also schedule a desktop pick-up via FedEx.com.  When a package is scheduled for pick up a FedEx driver is sent to your office to pick up your shipment. Be sure to enter the appropriate pick-up information accurately to ensure a quick pick-up.  You can also call FedEx Shipping at 1-800-463-3339.  You will need your FedEx account.  Your FedEx account was included in your welcome email.  It is also listed on your FedEx invoice.

Invoice Payments
Invoices are paid via DPR, Blanket Purchase Order or Procard.
