3. FedEx Packaging Size

FedEx Pak offers a variety of packaging sizes, with shipping fees calculated based on weight rather than dimensions, making it an ideal choice for shipping small items such as accessories and phone cases.

Spaceship provides 3 packaging options: FedEx Padded Pak, FedEx Large Pak and FedEx XL Pak.

FedEx Pak	Dimension	Weight limitation*	Calculation Base
FedEx Padded Pak	L30 x W38 x H1	2.5 KG	Weight
FedEx Large Pak	L31 x W40 x H1	2.5KG	Weight
FedEx XL Pak	L45 x W53 x H1	2.5KG	Weight

*If weight is over 2.5KG will be charged at FedEx International Priority rates.

Example

Imagine your original parcel measures 45 x 53 x 3 cm and weighs 1 kg.

The dimensional weight, in this case, calculates to 1.43 kg, which is slightly heavier than the actual weight.

When you opt for FedEx Pak in such scenarios, you are billed based on the actual weight of the package, which in this case is 1 kg. This means you are only charged for the real weight, not the dimensional weight.

Here's how the cost savings are calculated:

Chargeable weight using the dimensional weight (1.43 kg) is rounded up to 1.5 kg.
Quoted cost for FedEx International Priority (Fedex IP) using the dimensional weight: $289.68.

On the other hand,

Chargeable weight using the actual weight (1 kg).
Quoted cost for FedEx International Priority (Fedex IP) using the actual weight: $238.38.

The cost saved is calculated as follows:

Cost saved = ($238.38 - $289.68) / $289.68 x 100% = 17.71%

So, by choosing FedEx Pak and paying based on the actual weight, you can enjoy significant savings of approximately 17.71% on your shipping fees. While it may not reach exactly 20%, this approach represents a substantial and cost-effective strategy for your shipments.

Spaceship Pro has plans to introduce additional FedEx packaging sizes in the future, and we'll keep you updated with the latest developments as soon as they become available.
