Default FedEx account discounts on shipping?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to sell some wheels and wondering if anyone has a FedEx account and/or if that saves any money on shipping costs.

Thanks for any info/tips.

Nathan

Try https://www.shipnex.com/

You need to sign up for free. They use UPS, FEDEX or DHL, whatever is cheaper.

Cheers

try shipnerd.com - we have a fedex account for business no real discount. Shipping these days is just expensive.

I've used parcelmonkey with good success, but any time you add an aggregator in there's a risk of complication if something goes wrong.

I recently used ShipNerd to deliver four wheels to Chicago. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost, around $125 for four, 18" 997 five spoke wheels. I think FedEx wanted $300 plus for the Home Delivery option. Yikes.

However, be aware that the Quick Quote price can be misleading since the estimate can vary from the actual address (home address versus commercial address) and package size and weight (even though you may have input the size into the Quick Quote area).
