The earned discount structure allows us to reward customers who are loyal FedEx shippers. Note enrolment in the FedEx Business Bonus program is closed as of September 25, 2017.

For the first six months, save 30% off FedEx Express® and 15% off FedEx International Ground™ services. Before this offer expires, one of our small business specialists will follow up with you to discuss a customized shipping discount program for your small business. Depending on your shipping needs, you may remain on the Business Bonus program and here’s how it works:

Your monthly discount is calculated based on your average monthly FedEx Express shipping charges over the last six months. The program looks at your average monthly FedEx Express shipping charges over the last six months as a Business Bonus member. Discounts are based on the following tiers:

The FedEx Business Bonus program looks at the average of your shipping charges over the last six months to calculate the discount on your next month's shipments. Therefore, seasonal shipping patterns and temporary fluctuations will not unduly affect your discount.

On every invoice, you can see how much you've actually saved by checking the "Earned Discount" section. You can also see what discount you'll receive when you get a rate and transit time quote by logging into fedex.ca.
