- Create an account to get started.
- Choose between a business account and a personal account.

Both personal and business accounts receive discounts, an address book, and faster shipment set up.
A business account is recommended if you’re selling a product or service (even if you’re a sole proprietor). It has the added benefit of My FedEx Rewards – a free loyalty program where you can earn exclusive perks on eligible shipping and printing. In addition, you’ll get extra discounts on applicable FedEx Office® services.
No. You can make a one-time credit card shipment. But if you sign in to a FedEx account, you’ll get discounts, an address book, and faster shipment setup.
The only time you have to use FedEx packaging is when you use FedEx One Rate®.
Otherwise, you can use any sturdy, undamaged packaging for your shipments. If you’re reusing a box, just make sure any old addresses and barcodes are completely covered. You can also get more packaging tips and order free FedEx supplies.
