FedEx ID scanning will soon impact all shippers. On June 28, 2022, FedEx express and ground will enable ID scanning functionality for domestic deliveries which require an adult signature. FedEx's ID scanning technology will electronically capture the recipient's name and automate age verification.

FedEx ID scanning might be a leap forward for automation, efficiency, and cost savings, but many consumers might not be so quick to accept this new policy. If FedEx only records the data outlined below, the possibility of data misuse is low. But, data compromisation is always possible, and identity theft does give people pause.

When it comes to shipping a package, typically, you think of the big guys. FedEx, UPS, and USPS. If you haven’t considered or implemented regional parcel carriers, you might be leaving money on the table. A regional parcel carrier is a package delivery company usually more affordable, more flexible, and responsive than national carriers. These carriers service tens of millions of people and not hundreds of millions in the domestic United States. Consequently, they offer shipping advantages within a targeted geographic area.

Previously, we learned that the last mile or final delivery of packages, regardless of actual distance, is where costs add up. Coincidentally, that last-mile varies from a few blocks to 100’s of miles, which is where UPS SurePost and FedEx SmartPost (also known as FedEx Ground Economic) can help. SmartPost is the cost-saving option of ground shipping because it lessens FedEx’s workload by utilizing USPS. It also takes longer to deliver, and while it offers unified tracking, customers still find it confusing.

FedEx and UPS made notable changes to their rates and contracts for 2020, yet many businesses have yet to either know or understand these changes. For this reason – and many others – it’s critical for businesses to update their parcel carrier contracts and gain more clarity on what exactly impacts their shipping efforts. Unfortunately, however, these efforts don’t always top to-do-lists – making it easier for carriers to increase their profits while shippers often spend more than they should.

Mistake #1: Not Knowing Your End Goals

Mistake #2: Not Evaluating All Factors Influenced by Contract Changes

Accessorial fees and surcharges are a substantial part of any shipper’s yearly shipping costs. Many shippers see these as a part of doing business, but there are many fees that you, as a shipper, can stop. The FedEx address correction fee is our topic of discussion here. Address corrections happen to be a huge profit center for UPS and FedEx.

When a shipper inputs an incorrect address when creating a shipment, the carrier will attempt to correct this address for a hefty fee. Within the U.S., FedEx also will assess this fee if the address is a P.O. box number or P.O. box ZIP code. Also, if your package incurs an address correction fee, the on-time or its free guarantee is no longer effective.
