Should I choose ground or freight services for heavy shipments?

FedEx Ground^® is a shipping service for packages under 150 lbs. It delivers to businesses and is faster to more locations than UPS Ground. Your FedEx Ground shipment must be less than 108" in length and 165" in length plus girth (L+2H+2W).

FedEx Freight^® is for shipments over 150 lbs. Here are your options:

• FedEx Express^® Freight shipping services. Get time-definite delivery of palletized freight within 3 days.
• FedEx LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping. Because you only pay for a portion of the trailer space, LTL shipping can be an economical choice.
• Flat-rate freight shipping. You can use a FedEx^® flat-rate freight box for LTL shipments. You don’t have to classify your freight, and it eliminates reclass and reweight fees. Prices are determined by delivery zone, so pricing is predictable. And the cost of shipping materials is included in the flat fee.

If you have multiple packages or freight shipments going to the same location, enable multiweight pricing on your account. It calculates the cost of sending items as a single shipment versus keeping them separate. Then, it automatically applies the lower price.
