That makes this a practical program to evaluate even if your business already has established shipping accounts or carrier relationships.
How it works
Getting started is simple.
Tell us about your shipping
Share basic information about your business and whether you primarily ship small packages, freight, or both.
Review your savings options
Determine whether FedEx Advantage discounts, freight pricing, or a shipping analysis makes the most sense for your business.
Start shipping and saving
Once enrolled, eligible FedEx discounts are linked to your account. Freight customers can use PartnerShip for quotes, pickups, shipment management, and support.
Small-package shipping
Keep using FedEx the way you already do.
If your business already ships with FedEx, you can continue using your existing FedEx account. After enrollment is completed, eligible discounts are connected to the account and automatically apply to qualifying shipments.
If you do not already have a FedEx account, one can be opened as part of the enrollment process.
Freight shipping
Use as much—or as little—support as you need.
PartnerShip can provide quotes, schedule pickups, help resolve carrier issues, and assist with freight questions. Businesses that prefer to manage shipments directly can also use PartnerShip's online shipping tools.
