How to mail a fedex package

Mailing a FedEx package is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Step 1: Prepare Your Package

  1. Make sure your package is properly packaged and sealed.
  2. Attach any necessary labels, such as a shipping label, customs forms, and any special handling labels (e.g., fragile, hazardous materials).
  3. Weigh and measure your package to ensure you have the correct dimensions and weight.

Step 2: Create a Shipping Label

  1. Go to the FedEx website (www.fedex.com) and click on "Ship" at the top of the page.
  2. Enter your package details, including the recipient's address, package weight, dimensions, and any special handling instructions.
  3. Choose your shipping service (e.g., FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight).
  4. Review and pay for your shipping label.

Step 3: Print Your Shipping Label

  1. Once you've created your shipping label, you can print it from your computer or mobile device.
  2. Make sure to print the label on a plain white paper or label stock.

Step 4: Attach the Shipping Label

  1. Attach the shipping label to the outside of your package, making sure it's securely fastened and won't come off during transit.
  2. Make sure the label is facing upwards and is easily readable.

Step 5: Complete Any Additional Forms

  1. If you're shipping internationally, you may need to complete a customs form (PS Form 2976) and attach it to the outside of the package.
  2. If you're shipping hazardous materials, you may need to complete a hazardous materials declaration form (FedEx hazmat form).

Step 6: Drop Off Your Package

  1. Take your package to a FedEx location, such as a FedEx Office or a FedEx Ship Center.
  2. Give the package to the FedEx representative and provide any necessary documentation (e.g., customs forms).
  3. Pay for any additional services or fees (e.g., insurance, signature upon delivery).

Step 7: Track Your Package

  1. Once your package is shipped, you can track its progress on the FedEx website or through the FedEx mobile app.
  2. You'll receive email updates on the status of your package, including when it's picked up, in transit, and delivered.

That's it! By following these steps, you should be able to successfully mail a FedEx package. If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can contact FedEx customer service at 1-800-463-3339.
