To enjoy the new services from the launch day, you have to ship using the latest versions of our tools

• For online shipping

  If you’re shipping online, this means using the new FedEx Ship Manager™ at fedex.com. All you need to do is sign in to fedex.com with your ID and password and create a shipment. If your chosen destination and shipment type are eligible for the service, it will show up as an option for you to select.
  

  In case you land on the old version of FedEx Ship Manager™ at fedex.com, please go to the new version.

  If you have a ‘Shipment Profile’ configured, you may need to reselect your default service after launch date when the new services are available or include the new service within your order file.

  If you’re new to online shipping and do not have an ID and password associated with your FedEx account yet, click here to create one. Log out and log in again to make sure that your new ID and password are activated on the updated online tool. Then start shipping.

• For FedEx Web Services shipping:

  Please note that FedEx Web Services has been placed into ‘development containment’. This means we’re stopping releasing new functionalities and security enhancement on FedEx Web Services and, over time, we’re planning to end support. Future enhancements will only become available on our modernized FedEx APIs. To ensure continuity of your integration with FedEx capabilities, your migration to the new FedEx APIs is necessary. We advise you to plan, prioritise and initiate your migration.

  The FedEx Developer Portal can guide you through every step in the integration process – from browsing the API catalogue to determine what you need for your application all the way through completing your integration.

  If you are unable to migrate to FedEx APIs by the time our new domestic services launch, you can ship domestic with FedEx Web Services version WSXI3600 or above. You will then need to add the new service types as of the day the new services launch to be able to see the new services:

  FEDEX_FIRST

Here’s how to calculate the DIM weight (also known as volumetric or cubed weight) for your FedEx domestic shipments:

Length* x Height x Width (in cm) / 5000**
! Round each measurement to the next whole number.

Example:
Actual weight: 60kgs and Dimensions: L = 80cm, H = 70cm, W = 60cm
DIM Weight = 80 x 70 x 60 / 5000*** = 67.2kgs

In this example, the dimensional weight is greater than the actual weight of the package, so DIM weight will be used for rating the shipment.

For more information about DIM weight, head over to this page or speak to your Sales representative.

* Length is defined as the longest side of the package.
** Reflects the default DIM value; this may vary by country and/or by customer.
*** Each measurement shall be rounded to the next whole number.
