⚖️ Understanding FedEx Weight Types
FedEx calculates shipping charges based on two types of weight:
1️⃣ Actual Weight
The physical weight of the parcel measured on a scale
Used for heavier, smaller items
2️⃣ Dimensional (Volumetric) Weight
Calculated using the formula:
Dimensional Weight (kg)=Length (cm)×Width (cm)×Height (cm)5000\text{Dimensional Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Length (cm)} \times \text{Width (cm)} \times \text{Height (cm)}}{5000}Used for light, bulky parcels
FedEx charges whichever weight is higher
💡 Tip: Always measure your parcel dimensions accurately to avoid extra charges.
🌎 FedEx Zones
FedEx divides international destinations into zones, which affect delivery time and charges. Examples for USA shipments:
| Zone | Delivery Time (Priority / Economy) | Example Cities |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1–3 Days / 4–7 Days | New York, Boston |
| B | 1–3 / 4–7 | Chicago, Atlanta |
| C | 1–3 / 4–7 | Dallas, Houston |
| D | 1–3 / 4–7 | San Francisco, LA |
| E–I | 1–3 / 4–7 | Miami, Seattle, Denver, etc. |
💡 Tip: Priority services are faster but more expensive, while Economy or Standard Duty-Free (8–12 days for USA) is cost-effective for non-urgent shipments.
📦 FedEx Packaging Options
FedEx shipping charges also depend on predefined package types:
| Package | Dimensions | Max Weight |
|---|---|---|
| FedEx Envelope | 23.5 × 33.5 cm | 0.5 kg |
| FedEx Box (Small) | 31.1 × 27.7 × 3.8 cm | 22.67 kg |
| FedEx Box (Medium) | 33.6 × 29.2 × 6.0 cm | 22.67 kg |
| FedEx Tube | 96.5 × 15.2 × 15.2 cm | 22.67 kg |
