What is freight shipping?
Say you own an online clothes store and need to ship a large quantity of jumpers overseas – for this you’ll need a freight service.
It’s the transportation of large, heavy or bulky goods by air or road. The goods are usually loaded on to pallets or into a sturdy container, and the package weighs above 68 kg overall. Once it’s placed on a truck or plane, it can be transported domestically or across the world.

Understanding shipping
The world of shipping is vast and there’s a lot to get your head around. Some of the key things to know are outlined below.
Fuel surcharges
This surcharge covers the fluctuating price of oil and is calculated as a percentage of the shipment price – find out how it affects the price of your shipment here.
Help with documentation
Ensuring your paperwork is correct is one of the best ways to keep your shipment on schedule. Find out what documents you need and how to fill them out properly with this helpful guide.
DIM weight explained
DIM weight stands for Dimensional weight and refers to the shipment’s density, which is the amount of space it takes up in relation to its actual weight. It affects your overall shipping costs. To calculate the dimensional weight of a package you multiply the length by width by height and divide it by 5000.

Need more information?
There are several cases when we do not display a last-minute rate:
- If you are third-party shipper it will not be available, e.g. if you are based in Germany but want to check a quote for a shipment from France to Belgium, you will not see a last-minute rate on fedex.com/de
- If your account rates (when you’re logged in) are more competitive then no last-minute discount will be shown as you are already getting the best rate possible.
- If the origin and destination pair do not have a last-minute rate offer for the available services and weight breaks.
When the shipment you quoted on deviates from the actual shipment we moved for you the Last Minute Rate may no longer apply.
- Service, origin & destination zip codes need to be a perfect match
- Ship date and chargeable weight may vary to cater for late pick up and measurement tolerances
If you changed your shipment details as per above your contract rates will apply.
