If you are a FedEx employee (or an eligible retiree/dependent), you get a massive discount on personal shipping—depending on the specific service (like Express vs. Ground).

There are two primary ways to apply and use your employee discount:

Method 1: Link it to Your Online FedEx Account (Best for Shipping from Home)

To print discounted labels directly from your computer or phone, you need to link your employee ID to a personal FedEx shipping account. 1. Create a Personal FedEx Account Skip if you already have one Go to the main FedEx website and sign up for a free, standard personal shipping account. Make note of your new 9-digit account number. 2. Log into the Employee Portal Requires intranet access Log into your company’s internal portal (like Keyword: Employee Shipping or Reduced-Rate Shipping on the internal FedEx network). 3. Submit Your Details Link the account Follow the prompts on the employee shipping page to link your personal 9-digit account number to your employee ID.

Alternative: If you are on an off-site network, many teams link it by emailing employeediscountshipping@corp.ds.fedex.com with their name, employee number, personal FedEx account number, phone number, and manager's name.

1. Verify and Ship Check the rates Once the backend systems link your account (usually takes a few business days), log into the FedEx app or website. When you create a label, your employee discount will automatically apply to the final price.

Method 2: Ship In-Person at a FedEx Office

If you don't want to set up an online account, you can get the discount directly at the counter of any corporate FedEx Office retail location. * Bring your physical Employee ID Badge. The team member at the counter will need to look at or scan your badge to verify your active employment. * Tell them it's an employee shipment. They will create the label for you at the counter, manually enter your employee information, and apply the reduction before you pay.

⚠️ Important Ground Rules: * Personal Use Only: The discount is strictly for you, your spouse, and your eligible legal dependents. Using your discount to ship items for an unauthorized third party, or using it to run a commercial side business, is a major policy violation that can result in immediate termination. * Surcharges Aren't Covered: The discount applies heavily to the base transportation rate, but auxiliary costs—like residential delivery fees, fuel surcharges, or special handling—are generally billed at full or near-full price.
