The carrier integration requires someone at the recipient's address to sign for the delivery. Direct signature deliveries are made to the address on the mailing label, not to an individual recipient. The carrier may reattempt the delivery if no one is at the address.

The carrier integration will obtain a signature from someone at the delivery address or somebody nearby, such as a neighbor or building manager. The recipient can authorize the shipment to be released without anyone present.

Adult Signature

The carrier integration will pick up a shipment on Saturday for an extra fee.

The declared value of a package represents our maximum liability in connection with the shipment of that package, including, but not limited to, any loss, damage, delay, or misdelivery relating to that shipment.

The carrier integration automatically sends commercial invoices and customs forms electronically.

Special Considerations for FedEx

FedEx Rate and Billing Information

  • Once you create a shipment, you are billed by FedEx directly based on the rates you negotiated with FedEx.

  • When a package is delivered, the mail carrier will determine the final cost, including any surcharges. If you are being charged a different amount in FedEx from what is shown in ShippingEasy, there may be additional surcharges for your shipment. Learn more about FedEx surcharges.

  • The rates you receive for FedEx are only quotes. FedEx reserves the right to add additional fees to a shipment after it has been delivered.

  • FedEx offers liability protection for an additional fee. Read more about FedEx declared value.

Additional Carrier Forms

  • ShippingEasy automatically assigns the correct customs form to eligible shipments with all the required information as it is pulled from the store. We also allow you to print Commercial Invoices from the SHIPMENT HISTORY page.

  • FedEx allows the user to process Electronic Trade Documents (ETDs). However, not all destinations accept these electronic submissions. FedEx keeps a list of all destinations that accept ETDs.

  • The origin ID is an internal designation for the account set by FedEx to determine route information. For further information, please contact FedEx.
