I had a variety of items to ship from Phoenix to Seattle and I needed a special size box for a metal bistro table and chairs that I disassembled into flat parts. I had two boxes packed, but needed Fed Ex to provide boxes to fit all the other items.
I parked close to the store and inside they had a flatbed dolly that I used to load all my items. The employee saw me loading up and came outside to help and bring in the items. He took care of all the remaining packing and found the best size boxes. This took 30 min while I had lunch next door.
Their slowest shipping method FedEx ground takes only 4 days to Seattle and is the least costly option. If I had had the correct size boxes I would have saved $40 which was the cost of two large boxes, filler and the packing service (20x20x20 box and 36x36x5 Art Box). The shipping fee for the 5 boxes (3 large and 2 med) was $165.
FedEx charges mainly for the size of the box and how far it's traveling. My biggest box was 20x20x20 and weighed 38.7 lbs. and cost $54.49 to ship. It would cost almost the same shipping fee even if it weighted 20 lbs less.
