Understanding FedEx Shipping Rates
Calculating FedEx shipping costs involves several factors, and this calculator provides an estimation based on common variables. The actual rate may vary based on specific surcharges, account discounts, and the exact address details.
Key Factors Influencing Your Rate:
- Package Weight: Heavier packages generally cost more to ship.
- Package Dimensions: FedEx uses dimensional weight (DIM weight) for larger, lighter packages. If the DIM weight is greater than the actual weight, you'll be charged based on the DIM weight. The formula for DIM weight is (Length x Width x Height) / Divisor. The standard divisor for FedEx is 139 (for inches).
- Service Type: Faster services like Priority Overnight are significantly more expensive than slower services like Ground or Express Saver.
- Distance: Shipping to a further destination will cost more. This is influenced by the origin and destination ZIP codes.
- Additional Services: Options like Saturday delivery, signature required, or declared value insurance will increase the final cost.
