Shipping Tools

FedEx Shipping Tools enable you to automate the shipping process. This makes shipping easier and will help you save significant time because:

  • There is no need to manually write Air Waybills or commercial invoices, both of which can be printed on plain A4 paper.
  • Re-typing of recurring, frequently used information such as addresses, commodities, etc, can be avoided through the use of databases.
  • Courier pick-up can be requested online, without calling customer service.
  • Administration and follow-up is made very easy through automated shipping and delivery email alerts.
