PyMEx Ship & Save Program Description

The Program offers a percentage off FedEx Express applicable rates on eligible FedEx Express services to eligible FedEx accounts. The specific details regarding pricing and the calculations are as follows:

  1. Eligible accounts will be effectively enrolled into the PyMEx Ship & Save Program within one week of registration to receive FedEx PyMEx Program discounts. During the five weeks following the effective enrollment date, the account will be granted a grace period discount equal to 20 percent.
  2. After the grace period expires, the Program Discount is based upon the monthly average of Customer's gross transportation charges, calculated from the effective date of enrollment. The average will be re-calculated monthly and is used to determine the Program Discount, from the Program Discount Table, for the following month. Customer's pricing, therefore, may vary from month to month depending upon Customer's rolling average. After the first 12 (twelve) months of enrollment in the program, a rolling twelve-month average will be used to calculate the discount for the following month.
  3. Customer's average monthly gross transportation charges calculation will be based upon the applicable gross transportation charges from the FedEx account number enrolled in the program. Gross transportation charges are calculated using base transportation charges only and do not include ancillary fees, surcharges, accessorial charges or other special handling fees and charges.
  4. The monthly gross transportation charges from all eligible FedEx Express shipments billed to Customer's account will be used to calculate the Program Discount. However, the Discount will only apply to the following services: FedEx International Priority® and FedEx International Priority® Freight.
  5. The Discounts apply to list-rate transportation charges only and not to any surcharges, special handling fees, duties, taxes or other additional charges.
  6. For a shipment to count toward a Customer's Program Discount threshold or to receive an applicable Program Discount, the shipment must be billed to a FedEx account number that is eligible for Program Discounts.
  7. Any ancillary fee, surcharge, accessorial charge, or dimensional-weight-factor waivers, current Discount or reductions shall be discontinued.
  8. Discounts will be in the form of a credit on the invoice.
  9. Customer shall not be entitled to invoice adjustments for Program Discounts for use of account numbers or automation devices that are not eligible for Program Discounts.
  10. The terms and conditions of carriage in the applicable FedEx Express Air Waybill, in effect on the day of any shipment, shall apply to any such shipments. If there is a conflict between the FedEx Express Air Waybill and the Program, the FedEx Express Air Waybill will control.
  11. FedEx reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Program at any time. If you have further questions regarding the PyMEx Ship & Save Program, please contact your FedEx Account Executive or call your local FedEx Customer Service Representative.
  12. FedEx PyMEx Program is not available in all markets.

FedEx Packaging Design and Development Lab

It is all in the packaging

Getting your package to its destination on time is one of the many reasons you choose to ship with FedEx. You may not know the great lengths we go to help improve the design and durability of your packaging.

At the FedEx Packaging Design and Development department, our team provides two primary services for FedEx Express shippers: package testing and customized package solutions.

Package Testing

If you have concerns about the durability of your custom packaging, you can submit it for testing. The testing process takes between four to seven business days and is offered to FedEx customers free of charge.

Each package is tested for manual and mechanical handling. The tests determine if packages are likely to withstand the transport and handling stress created by sorting machines, plane mechanical systems and road conditions.

To pass, your package must successfully go through three rounds of testing:

  1. The drop test
    To demonstrate that a package can withstand shock, it must pass a drop test. If the package fails this first test, it is sent back to the shipper without going through any more testing.
  2. The compression test
    This test determines if your packaging will hold up under the pressure of other package loads.
  3. The vibration test
    We simulate the conditions of a truck and air travel environments to ensure your package will hold up when in transit.

Customized Package Solutions

On average, our Packaging Design and Development team creates 120 design solutions a year. We are proud to have been involved in creating some key packaging solutions that have been adopted as industry standards. Some of our successes include:

  • Packaging for the flower industry that adjusts for varying seedling heights.
  • Protective, cushioned packages for shipping laptop computers.

For more information, you can direct your inquiry in English via electronic mail to pkgfield@mail.fedex.com. If you would like to have your packaging tested, complete our Packaging Services Application.
