What is FedEx?

Federal Express, which was used from 1973 until 2000. FedEx today is best known for its air delivery service. It was one of the first major shipping companies to offer overnight delivery as a flagship service. Since then, FedEx also started FedEx Ground, FedEx Office (known initially as Kinko’s), FedEx Supply Chain, FedEx Freight, and various other services across multiple subsidiaries, often meant to respond its main competitor, UPS. FedEx is also one of the U.S. government’s top contractors and assists in the transport of some United States Postal Service packages through its service FedEx SmartPost.

FedEx Express covers every U.S. street address and services more than 220 countries and territories. Our global network provides time-sensitive, air-ground express service through more than 650 airports worldwide.

The History of FedEx

FedEx, previously known as Federal Express, is a major player in the package delivery market and a direct competitor to global leader United Parcel Service (UPS). Unlike UPS, the FedEx story is a relatively short one, as the company was founded by its current chief executive, Fred Smith, in 1971.However, 40 years later, the company has the world’s largest airline in terms of freight tons flown and is the world’s fourth-largest in terms of fleet size. The company has almost 300,000 employees and sales revenue in excess of $40 billion.

What is volumetric weight?

Dim weight is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. For each shipment, you are charged based on the dimensional weight or actual weight of the package—whichever is greater.

Why is volumetric weight important?

• Major shipping companies, including FedEx, use dim weight to calculate the price of shipping, called dim weight pricing.
• Dim weight pricing reduces shipping costs for customers who pack more efficiently.
• Efficient packing can help to reduce fuel emissions.

How to calculate my products volumetric Weight?

You can use the formula: product length * width * height, then divide by 139.
