Accessorial fees and surcharges are a considerable part of any shipper's yearly shipping costs. Many shippers see these as a part of doing business, but there are many fees that you, as a shipper, can stop. The FedEx address correction fee is our topic of discussion here. Address corrections are a major profit center for UPS and FedEx.
When a shipper enters an incorrect address when creating a shipment, the carrier will attempt to correct it for a hefty fee. Within the U.S., FedEx will also assess this fee if the address is a P.O. box number or P.O. box ZIP code. In addition, if your package incurs an address correction fee, the on-time-or-it's-free guarantee is no longer effective.
Since 2006, Refund Retriever has audited FedEx and UPS packages for late deliveries and billing mistakes. Through a comprehensive logistics analysis, we help shippers maximize carrier discounts and achieve best-in-class pricing. Are you paying too much for your shipping?
