FedEx is one of the largest express delivery companies in the world. It is affiliated to the FedEx Group of the United States and is the backbone of the group’s express delivery business. FedEx is committed to providing fast and reliable express delivery services, and its business scope covers more than 200 countries and regions around the world. FedEx uses its global aviation and land transportation network to deliver goods to customers quickly on the specified date and time, and has a “on-time delivery guarantee”.
FedEx services are divided into FedExIP and FedExIE services. FedExIP (international priority freight) refers to FedEx priority service, which is faster and relatively more expensive than ordinary ones. FedEx IE (international economy) refers to FedEx economy service, which is slower than FedExIP and is the cheapest transportation method among FedEx international express delivery.
In October 2012, FedEx joined hands with AliExpress to provide sellers with efficient and reliable logistics services. AliExpress sellers can use FedEx online delivery service, fill out the delivery order online, and send the goods to Alibaba’s cooperative warehouse, and pay the freight online, and the warehouse will deliver the seller’s goods to the buyer.
1. Rate Standard
Similar to UPS, FedEx’s first weight is also 0.5 kg, and the additional weight is 500 grams (less than 500 grams is calculated as 500 grams), and the volume weight is calculated (the larger volume weight and actual weight are charged), and there is a fuel surcharge. AliExpress users can enjoy the negotiated price when using FedEx online delivery, and log in to the logistics planner to check. The rate displayed in the query tool only includes the international transportation rate and fuel surcharge of the goods. The international transportation rate is calculated based on the larger volume weight and actual weight. Other fees include agency customs clearance fee (5.00 yuan/time), warehouse operation fee (2.00 yuan/time), warehouse labeling fee (0.02 yuan/time) and other fees (such as remote area surcharge).
2. Specification restrictions
When using FedEx, please note that the single side of a single package cannot be greater than 270 cm. Goods with length (cm) + 2X width (cm) + 2x height (cm) > 330 cm cannot be mailed. FedEx has no volumetric weight or weight check restrictions for the total weight of the shipment, but there are volumetric weight and actual weight restrictions for a single piece of goods. You can have multiple pieces on one ticket (each piece does not exceed 60 kg), and the total weight of a single ticket cannot exceed 300 kg. If it exceeds 300 kg, please make an appointment in advance; if a single piece or a single package in a multiple-piece ticket exceeds 68 kg, you need to make an appointment in advance. FedEx declares a value of more than 5,000 yuan and needs to be declared separately. The choice of billing weight is the same as other commercial express delivery, whichever is larger, actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 5000, and the first weight of the goods is 0.5 kg.
3. Time limit standard
FedEx’s main advantage routes for online delivery are Asia and America routes, especially the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Israel and other countries. Generally, it takes 3 to 5 working days to reach the relevant destination.
