FedEx Multiweight

[Robert schmobert]

My sister was looking for the cheapest way to ship to Hawaii and found FedEx multiweight. She called FedEx and they told her a business account is required to use multiweight. I can't find anything on the website that mentions that as a requirement, only that individual contracts are required. Is a business account required, or do they not know what they're talking about?
Thanks.

I've never heard of "multiweight" but, I highly doubt this will be avail. to your sister as a private, one time use customer to ship something. The reasons I believe this is:
1 They told her a business account is required to use multiweight.
2 individual contracts are required.
3 a business account required

Sounds like something only a bus. with a FDX account and that has this special "multiweight" option are able to use it.

Multiweight is an option for large shipments. And it's a ground service if I remember right. Might be freight. Hawaii wouldn't even be an option.

So, you just learned that ground does go to HI, huh?
Did you know you can ship to Canada via ground but, not Mexico?

 

[STFXG]

I didn't know if freight or multiweight did. Does freight? And does it go plane or boat?

So neither of you have heard of multiweight before I mentioned it?

 

[STFXG]

Maybe you should call fedex. Try asking another person rather than an Internet forum.

Our version is called Hundred Weight.

Our version is called Hundred Weight.

We used to have hundred weight. Haven't heard about in a long time. Don't know if it's still an option at Express.

We still offer the savings associated w/hundred weight.

UPS and Fedex across all services have bulk weight breaks. And most companies it will be less than 200 lbs. Fedex Ground use to have an advantage where anything in the zip-code counted together, while the rest of the industry was based on single location. Now they all are the same, the weight limits, discounts and avg piece weights are all negotiable. Just assume any business has a Hundred Weight break.
