FedEx Home Delivery® Bar-Code Label
You must use a FedEx Home Delivery 128 bar code/address label on each residential package. In addition to the shipping label requirements in the FedEx Ground Multicode Bar Code Label Guide, customers who plan to produce FedEx Home Delivery shipping labels must incorporate the following:
A large bold "H" must be printed using block font with a minimum font point size of 44. Ideally, the "H" should be located immediately to the left of the Ship To address. The "H" should have a minimum height of 3/4" and a width of 1/4". If it is not possible to print the "H" immediately to the left of the Ship To address, it may be placed elsewhere, but must be within one inch of the Ship To address.
If you are not able to print an "H" on the address label of the package you are shipping, you may use preprinted "H" stickers that can be provided by your FedEx account representative. The sticker, too, must be placed within one inch of the Ship To address.
FedEx Home Delivery shippers who process packages from their locations must transmit an electronic manifest that contains all of their package information directly to FedEx Ground, via FedEx Ship Manager® at fedex.com or another electronic shipping solution.
- The transmission must include package weight, destination ZIP code, and recipient name and address.
- For a FedEx Appointment Home DeliverySM package, you must include a telephone number with area code.
- For a FedEx Date Certain Home DeliverySM package, include a telephone number with area code, and a selected delivery date that falls within standard FedEx Home Delivery transit times, Tuesday through Saturday, excluding holidays.
The manifest file must be in an approved format such as EDI 215 Pick-Up Manifest (version 4010 or above) or FedEx Ground proprietary flat-file format — and can include specific delivery instructions such as "Leave package on the back porch."
