Invoicing

FedEx^® Billing Online: manage bills and make payments from your computer

Managing FedEx accounts, shipments and invoices has never been easier. With FedEx^® Billing Online, you can search invoices by ship date, reference number, payment type or account number, and link all your FedEx accounts together on one account summary invoice. You can also save filing space by creating PDF files of your invoices that you can archive or e-mail. Plus, you can dispute shipping charges; request adjustments; and schedule and make payments via electronic funds transfer, automatic debit or paper check. Payments can be made at the invoice level or for individual tracking IDs.

FedEx Flat File Reporting Tool: create customized billing reports

Gathering invoice data on your shipments is now even easier. A variety of reports are available to you so you can see your shipments organized in ways that help you. The application stores your data locally, so you are not required to have an Internet connection active while using the application. Learn more.

Cash, checks and money orders

Staffed locations typically accept cash, checks (including cashier's checks) and money orders. Note that cash is not accepted at all FedEx locations or in all pickup areas. Cash, checks, money orders and traveler's checks cannot be used to pay for FedEx SameDay^® or FedEx^® International Next Flight shipments (all fees, duties and taxes associated with customs clearance are invoiced to the customer in conjunction with freight and ancillary charges). In addition, FedEx International MailService^® shipments may not be paid by cash. FedEx does not accept counter checks or third-party checks.

FedEx electronic funds transfer (EFT) or automatic debit: pay directly from your bank account

Pay your invoices directly from your bank account or arrange to have your bank account debited for your invoices. This option requires a FedEx account number and prior approval.
