The FedEx Bill of Lading form serves as a crucial document in the shipping process, establishing a contract between the shipper and the carrier. This form outlines essential details, including the date, purchase order number, and specific service types chosen by the shipper, such as FedEx Freight Priority or Economy. It requires the shipper and consignee's information, including addresses and contact numbers, ensuring that both parties are clearly identified. Additional service options, like liftgate or inside delivery, can also be selected, allowing for customization based on the shipment's needs. The form includes sections for billing freight charges, with options for prepaid or collect shipments, and details regarding C.O.D. (Cash on Delivery) arrangements. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of accurately describing the contents of the shipment, including any hazardous materials, and provides guidelines for declaring the value of the goods being transported. Shippers must sign the document, certifying that their shipment complies with all applicable regulations, and acknowledging the limitations of the carrier's liability. With its comprehensive structure, the FedEx Bill of Lading not only facilitates the shipping process but also ensures that both parties understand their rights and responsibilities.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the FedEx Bill of Lading form, it’s important to ensure accuracy and clarity. Here are some helpful dos and don’ts to guide you through the process:

  • Do double-check all information for accuracy, including addresses and contact numbers.

  • Do include the correct ZIP codes for both the shipper and consignee.

Listed Questions and Answers

  1. What is a FedEx Bill of Lading?

    The FedEx Bill of Lading is a crucial document used for shipping freight. It serves as a receipt for the goods being transported and outlines the terms and conditions of the shipment. This document is not negotiable and must be filled out accurately to ensure smooth processing of your shipment.

  2. What information is required on the Bill of Lading?

    You need to provide several key details when filling out the Bill of Lading:

    • Shipper and consignee information, including names, addresses, and phone numbers.
    • Service type selected (e.g., FedEx Freight Priority, Economy).
    • Details about the freight, such as weight, dimensions, and description of the items.
    • Any optional services required, like liftgate or inside delivery.
  3. How do I select the service type?

    When completing the Bill of Lading, you will see options for service types. Choose the one that best fits your needs, such as FedEx Freight Priority for faster delivery or FedEx Freight Economy for cost-effective shipping.

  4. What is a C.O.D. shipment?

    A C.O.D. (Cash on Delivery) shipment allows the shipper to collect payment from the consignee upon delivery. If you want to use this option, make sure to mark “C.O.D.” in the designated box and specify the payment method.

  5. What if my shipment contains hazardous materials?

    If your shipment includes hazardous materials, you must mark “H” in the appropriate column on the Bill of Lading. Ensure that all materials are properly classified, packaged, and labeled according to regulations.

  6. What should I do if I need to declare the value of my shipment?

    If you need to declare the value, state the agreed or declared value in the specified section. This is important for determining liability in case of loss or damage during transit.

  7. How are freight charges handled?

    Freight charges are typically prepaid unless you specify otherwise. If the charges are to be billed to a different party, include that information on the Bill of Lading.

  8. What happens if I don’t select additional coverage?

    Not selecting additional coverage is considered a waiver of that option. This means you will only have standard liability coverage, which may not fully protect the value of your shipment.

  9. Where can I find more information?

    For more details on terms, conditions, and rates, visit fedex.com. You can also call customer service at 1.866.393.4585 for assistance.
