Carrier guide

FedEx

Time-sensitive, cross-border and international delivery.

FedEx is built for time-sensitive and international deliveries, from ground service to first-thing overnight. International shipments need a customs declaration before rating.

Good for

• Overnight and time-definite deliveries
• International shipments with customs
• Higher-value parcels

Services

Typical transit times. Every quote shows the carrier's own estimate for your exact route and ship date.

Domestic & ground

International

Using FedEx through the API

1. Rate. POST /v1/rates returns FedEx services alongside every other carrier whenever it serves the route. For FedEx only, add "carriers": ["fedex"] and no other carrier is quoted. Reference
2. Buy. Pass the chosen rate's carrier, service_code, service_name and quote_id to POST /v1/shipments, with an Idempotency-Key. Labels guide
3. Track. GET /v1/shipments/{id}/tracking returns its tracking events. Reference
4. Hand it over. GET /v1/pickups/carriers lists the carriers that can collect from your address; otherwise GET /v1/rates/dropoffs finds the nearest drop-off. Pickups guide

FedEx rates only

Every rate that comes back has carrier: "fedex". POST /v1/rates/quick takes the same option.
