FedEx pickup options
Many of the Qs in the FAQs on FedEx.com have to do with FedEx pickup options.
In this section, I walk you through how to set up a FedEx pickup.
Schedule a one-time pickup online
You have a few options when it comes to scheduling a one-time pickup with FedEx online.
You can also use the FedEx mobile app (though this section focuses on how to do it online).
Option 1: Create a label with FedEx Ship Manager
Enter your name, email address, phone number, and address. You’ll also enter the address you’re shipping to and the receiver information.
3. Next, place your pickup request, search for a location, and schedule your pickup under the Pickup/Dropoff option on the right-side panel.
4. From here, schedule a pickup or choose to drop off packages at a FedEx location. When scheduling a pickup, it’ll ask if there’s a regularly scheduled pickup date and time or if a delivery driver needs to be dispatched to the pickup location.
That’s it!
Option 2: Schedule a pickup without creating a label
1. Visit FedEx pickup options to schedule and manage pickups, or visit the FedEx.com navigation and select Shipping > Schedule & Manage Pickups.
2. Once you log in, you’ll be on the Pickup screen. Fill in your pickup address and phone number, and select the type of pickup service you need.
3. Complete the pickup by clicking “Schedule pickup.”
Schedule recurring FedEx pickups
You can also set up recurring pickups with FedEx. This is useful for:
Schedule a recurring pickup with “Recurring FedEx pickup.”
You’ll find a section explaining your options for recurring deliveries and the benefits of using this service. FedEx says, “It’s a time-saving alternative to repeatedly dropping off shipments or making individual pickup requests.”
The site also explains that FedEx Express and FedEx Ground Automated Pickup offer a customizable solution, so you can easily plan pickups when you need them. FedEx waives the pickup fee on weeks with no pickups.
Contact your FedEx account executive or call customer service at 1-800-GoFedEx to schedule either of these two services.
