FedEx Freight shipments only and no delivery or pickup is provided. Dock drop off and pickup only. I looked into using it last year and it seemed like a giant hassle.

Used it a few times and just to be fair it was only 70% okay.
So it's as said not worth the hassle. The counter folks were
some of the nicest people but understood the pain of the
uniform. You could read them like they were reading you.
 
Make sure you take photographs of each side to document that there weren’t forklift holes in your shipment before you dropped it off. Also pack it in a steel crate so it has a chance to survive the engine block that the supervisor told the dock drone to put on top of it to make it fit.
 
I had a family member use the FedEx gaylord shipping box and load it at the terminal. They assisted in securing it to a skid and it arrived a couple of thousand miles away with no damage. So this was actually a positive FedEx experience. Unusual, I know.

If it has to go through more than one hub or gets loaded on a container and isn’t built into a steel crate expect that freight box to be freight dust upon arrival.
 
Sign up at pirate ship or I believe shippo for a free account. The rates with those third party providers blow our employee discount rates out of the water. Usually the cheapest rate through them is with ups but oh well 🤷‍♂️

Incorrect. From central Florida to Colorado I think it passed through many hubs. Standard FedEx freight box. Not crushed or fork holes.

I was being sarcastic but so long as it didn’t go through NastyVille or Birmingham it should be fine from my experience. Some of the most Friday-est loaded trailers I’ve ever seen.

Well……at first we didn’t know “what side of the country” you were talking about…but the cinder blocks kinda gave it away :17142: I know it’s a LR thing, but does Harrison have a car on block section in the parking lot????:438:
