The meaning and limitations for each special service option are listed below:

  • COD: Indicates that this is a COD shipment. This service will affect shipping rates and service availability. This is applicable for domestic FedEx Express and Ground services, except FedEx Home Delivery premium. When shipping COD via FedEx Ground, the PackageCODAmount and PackageCODType must also be provided in the request.
  • Dry Ice: Indicates that the shipment contains dry ice. This might affect the shipping rates and service availability. When this service is requested (i.e., when the corresponding Dry Ice flag is contained in the ShipmentSpecialServices), then the DryIceCount and PackageDryIceWeight are required to be specified in the request (shipment level).
  • Email Notification: Indicates that email notification is requested. This might affect the service availability.
  • Future Day: Indicates that future day shipping is requested. This might affect the service availability. When this is requested, for Express shipping the ShipDate must be less than or equal to 10 days in the future. For Express freight, the ShipDate must be less than or equal to 5 days in the future.
  • Hold At Location: This is applicable for FedEx Express services only. Indicates that the FedEx shipment is to be held at the destination FedEx location for pickup by the recipient. The request of this special service might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability. This service is not valid with the Hold Saturday service, and when the Residential flag is set in RecipientAddressFlags (i.e., for residential delivery). When this service is requested (i.e., when the corresponding Hold At Location flag is contained in the ShipmentSpecialServices), then the HoldAtLocation is required to be provided in the request as well.
  • Home Delivery: Indicates that the Home Delivery Premium special service is requested. This is applicable for residential delivery only (i.e., when this is present in the request, the Residential flag in RecipientAddressFlags is automatically set in the request). If ServiceType is set to GROUND HOME DELIVERY, the corresponding flag of Home Delivery is automatically added to the ShipmentSpecialServices. In this case, the HomeDeliveryDate, HomeDeliveryPhone, and HomeDeliveryType properties are required to be provided in the request as well. This property is applicable for FedEx Ground services only.
  • Inside Delivery: Indicates that inside delivery service is requested. In this case, FedEx may move shipments to positions beyond the adjacent loading area. In doing so, FedEx will assess an inside delivery charge in addition to all other applicable charges. The adjacent loading area is defined as a delivery site that is directly accessible from the curb and is no more than 50 feet inside the outermost door. FedEx will assess an inside delivery charge when shipment breakdown is necessary to fit a shipment through a doorway. FedEx does not provide piece count or piece verification when a breakdown of a freight shipment occurs at the delivery site. Current FedEx surcharge for this option: US$0.0412 per lb./$0.0908 per kg (US$60 minimum).
  • Inside Pickup: Indicates that inside pickup service is requested. In this case, FedEx may move shipments from positions beyond the adjacent loading area. In doing so, FedEx will assess an inside pickup charge in addition to all other applicable charges. The adjacent loading area is defined as a pickup site that is directly accessible from the curb and is no more than 50 feet inside the outermost door. Current FedEx surcharge for this option: US$0.0412 per lb./$0.0908 per kg (US$60 minimum).
  • Return Shipment: Indicates that this shipment is a return one. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
  • Saturday Delivery: Indicates that you request to have the shipment delivered on a Saturday. Saturday delivery service is available for an additional charge depending on the package service type and origin/destination pair. This service is available for: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx 2day, FedEx International Priority, FedEx 1Day Freight, and FedEx 2Day Freight. The rates and service availability depend on the ship date specified in the request. If the ship date falls on Thursday or Friday and you want Saturday delivery, the ground option and some express option will not be valid.
  • Saturday Pickup: Indicates that you request to have the shipment picked up on a Saturday. Saturday pickup service is available for an additional charge depending on the package service type and origin/destination pair. This service is available for: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx 2day, FedEx International Priority, FedEx 1Day Freight, and FedEx 2Day Freight. The rates and service availability depend on the ship date specified in the request. If the ship date falls on week day other than Saturday and you want Saturday pickup, the ground option and some express option will not be valid.
  • ThirdParty Consignee: Indicates that the third party special service is requested. This is applicable to domestic shipments only. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
  • Broker Select: Indicates that the broker select special service is requested. When shipping internationally, the customer might want to have their own broker to deal with the delivery (for customs purposes). To request such service, the BrokerSelect option should be set in the ShipmentSpecialServices value. This allows you to designate a specific customs broker other than FedEx (or a FedEx designated broker). This is applicable to the following international FedEx services: FedEx International Priority, FedEx International Economy, FedEx International Priority Freight, FedEx International Economy Freight. FedEx International Broker Select is a contract service. Before you begin using FedEx International Broker Select (BSO), you must contact your FedEx account executive to be enrolled for this service. An additional routing surcharge applies to your BSO shipments if you choose to have FedEx complete delivery after customs clearance and if your recipient and customs broker are served by different FedEx clearance points. This service is not valid with SaturdayPickup/SaturdayDelivery services. When this service is requested, then the BrokerType, BrokerContact, and BrokerAddress are required to be provided in the ship request as well. Note: Certain customs limitations may apply for BSO shipments. Contact FedEx Express International customer service at 1.800.247.4747 for requirements.
