Your Questions About Fedex

Sandy asks…

had a fedex question ?

i want to order a box from fedex for express mail. someone bought a book from me online but i need a fedex express mail box to put the book in because the shipping label is from fedex. does anyone know where i can get a box for fedex

Michelle answers:

I think you can get ANY box, does not have to be Fedex. But if you want specifically Fedex, go to fedex.com and find local stores – and go buy there.

Betty asks…

Picking up package at UPS/FedEx?

If my package is being held at the local UPS/FedEx facility (because I wasn’t able to sign for it), is it possible to send someone there in my place (with the same last name and address as me on their license) and have them pick up the package?

Michelle answers:

Well, certainly with Fedex its possible. Fedex delivers to an *address*, not to a *name*.
And yes, anyone with the same last name that can show they are associated with your address (picture id, cable bill, rental agreement, etc) can pick up the package from the facility.
UPS would have to operate in much the same way.

Ken asks…

Can fedex deliver early?

My package is 15 miles from my house and it via fedex I’m sure FedEx will transport it to my local post office so could I get it tomorrow with regular mail it’s estimated delivery is this Monday is it possible

Michelle answers:

It depends on the level of service it was shipped with,
FedEx Home delivery is delivered by fedex drivers on Saturdays.
FedEx ground (business) does not deliver on Saturdays.
FedEx air (2 & 3 day versions) don’t generally deliver on Saturdays
The blended versions (last mile by the post office) may deliver on Saturday
For FedEx overnight it would already be there unless it was shipped on Friday.

If they say it’s going to be delivered Monday there is a reason, but without knowing what service level it was shipped with I can’t give you a real answer

Lizzie asks…

Fedex package to USPS?

Is it alright to drop off my Fedex package at USPS post office?The reason I’m asking this because USPS is closer to my house and Fedex is pretty far to get there. Since I need to return my rental book with Fedex shipping only.

Michelle answers:

No it is not. USPS does not handle the processing of FedEx parcels so it would go to the postal distribution center where it might sit for a few days before a FedEx driver picks it up. There is an arrangement with FedEx where the Postal Service delivers some FedEx packages, but that operates a different way and we don’t sort each others stuff.

However, some post offices have a FedEx drop box out front for your convenience. Also, you can drop off at one of the office chains, such as Staples and Office Max. Packages are picked up there by the regular FedEx driver who is in that neighborhood.
