Service Info
FedEx Express Multiple-Piece Shipments
Multiple-piece shipments can be sent to all points that we serve in the U.S. and in international locations. You may ship up to 999 pieces (except shipments in FedEx® Envelope packaging and FedEx® 10kg Box and FedEx® 25kg Box packaging) on the same airbill or international air waybill if the pieces are moving together on the same day from one sender to one recipient, using the same delivery service, bill-to and special handling instructions and packaging type. All FedEx electronic shipping tools also can process multiple-piece shipments. Individual pieces may have different weights, dimensions and declared value. All pieces must meet size, weight and acceptance guidelines for the selected service. Individual pieces of a multiple-piece shipment may not always be delivered at the same time, but all will be delivered by the commitment time for the service selected.
For additional information, see FedEx Express hundredweight pricing.
Freight
Multiple-piece shipments tendered as U.S. or international freight must be palletized, stackable, forkliftable, banded and shrinkwrapped to form single handling units. Each individual piece (or single handling unit) must have a separate address label showing complete sender and recipient addresses.
International Shipments
The weight of each individual piece within an international shipment cannot exceed the specified limits for the destination country, and no more than 10 commodities can be shipped on one international air waybill. Each individual piece (or single handling unit) must have a separate address label showing complete sender and recipient addresses.
Banded Packages
When shipping within the U.S., FedEx also accepts banded packages. If you have two identical-size boxes and the total weight does not exceed 75 lbs., you can band them together to form one piece. Acceptable banding includes 2" pressure-sensitive tape, plastic strapping or fiberglass-reinforced tape. If you use plastic strapping bands, they must be tightened securely. (Do not seal packages with string or rope.) Both packages must be addressed with shipper and recipient information. An additional handling surcharge may be assessed on banded packages.
