In general, FedEx is best for:
- Businesses that need express and overnight delivery (for example, when shipping perishables);
- Businesses that ship large items like furniture or appliances;
- Companies that ship alcoholic beverages.
FedEx works best for larger businesses that ship internationally and can negotiate volume discounts. FedEx ships packages seven days a week, Sundays included. If you are shipping a large and heavy item under 150 lbs. to a residential address, you can save a lot of money using FedEx Home Delivery. If you need to reduce the time of delivery, FedEx First Overnight boasts the fastest delivery speed. Your shipments will arrive by 8 a.m. the next business day. FedEx is the top shipping solution for specialty items, like food products or temperature-controlled goods. As for shipping insurance, you get the so-called FedEx Office Packing Pledge – $100 per package liability for items shipped via FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, or FedEx Home Delivery.
