Why am I being charged a "Non-Stackable surcharge" fee on my invoice?

Non-Stackable surcharge is applied to any freight handling unit that cannot be safely and securely stacked vertically. This refers to pieces, skids, or pallets that meet any of the following conditions:

  1. They lack a flat and stable top or base.
  2. They may sustain damage if additional pieces are loaded on top of them.
  3. They have flat and stable loading surfaces but are too narrow to safely and securely support other freight handling units, such as 1-2 barrels or drums.

For more information about this surcharge, including applicable rates and guidelines, please download the ‘FedEx Surcharge and Other information’ PDF from our other surcharges page.
