Boost Your Revenue With FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery®
In preparation for the upcoming peak season, here’s a summary of how the pricing that took place last November can help you bring in more revenue when you ship via FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery:
- Your FedEx Ground pricing is now based off the current FedEx® Retail Rates, rather than FedEx® Standard List Rates. Because FedEx Retail Rates include the most common surcharges (fuel, residential and delivery area), you can feel confident you’re accurately quoting to your customers the price of their shipments.
- The discounts enable you to lower your pricing, which brings more customers to the door wanting to ship via FedEx Ground® and FedEx Home Delivery services.
- Lower shipping prices make you more competitive and can help drive customer loyalty and increase shipping volume.

FedEx Authorized ShipCenter Testimonials
Read what your peers are saying about the new FedEx Ground pricing structure:
“The new pricing structure [from November 2018] makes FedEx a lot more competitive with smaller, lighter packages. It’s converted a lot of shipments that would’ve gone Priority Mail because of cost to FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery.”
Marty Johnson, Owner
Uncle Marty’s Shipping Office
Ithaca, New York
“Since I’ve committed to FedEx, my rates are so much better than they are with UPS. Because I get better discounts, FedEx Ground is cheaper [than the competition]. The new pricing [from November 2018] lowered my cost on some stuff, but it didn’t change a lot for me because I was already pushing it.”
Kevin Presse, Owner
A1 Packaging Store
West Lafayette, Indiana
“The [November 2018 pricing change] enables us to make just a little bit more profit and also bring our prices down to be more competitive with similar services across the other carriers. It’s definitely more competitive against Priority Mail and UPS Ground. The service is faster, the rates are better. FedEx volumes in our store have gone up because of that.”
Tim Kincade, Owner
Pak Mail Jonesboro 487
Jonesboro, Arkansas
“The restructure that FedEx did last year helped to give us a better pricing advantage. I am actually making more while still charging my customers the same amount.”
Steve Dick, Owner
Box King
Springfield, Ohio
“We do more with FedEx, so our rates are better. And with the new FedEx pricing, we’ve been able to bump up our margins a percent or two. The first option we offer [our customers] is FedEx Ground.”
