By ShipTime
When booking shipments directly with FedEx or through some platforms, scheduled pickups may include an additional fee, typically ranging from $1.50 to $4.50 per pickup*.
While the fee itself may seem minor, it introduces an added cost across everyday shipping operations.
*Pickup fees may vary based on how the pickup is scheduled, service type, and method of request.
Pickup fees are not occasional. They are recurring.
For businesses shipping regularly:
This is how small operational fees compound into larger cost issues over time.
Beyond the cost itself, pickup fees introduce friction:
Over time, this reduces visibility and makes it harder to maintain control over logistics spend.
Avoiding pickup fees is not about reducing shipments or changing workflows.
It comes down to how you access courier services.
With ShipTime, FedEx pickups do not include an additional fee.
That means:
You simply book your shipment and schedule your pickup within ShipTime without the extra charge.
FedEx pickup fees may apply depending on how shipments are booked or service level, and for many businesses, they become part of the overall cost of shipping.
The difference comes from how those shipments are processed.
With ShipTime, FedEx pickups are included as part of the shipping workflow, so there are no additional pickup charges to manage.
