Courier Pickup Charge
A charge applies when you request a pickup, including requests made using FedEx® electronic
shipping solutions or by calling 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 (say “schedule a pickup”).
The charge is itemized separately on your invoice. If you pay by cash (which is not accepted
at all pickup locations), check, money order or credit card, the charge will be collected
when you tender the package. The charge applies for pickup of FedEx Express® Billable
Stamp and FedEx Express® Prepaid Stamp shipments. This charge does not apply if you
drop off your package at a FedEx shipping location or if you have regular scheduled pickup.
i dont think steve wants to pay $4 per package or even throw the fee at us. and honestly. fedex charges too much for the slow service they have. ups would charge a few bucks less and deliver it to me the next day fedex takes 2 days from LA to Sacramento
