Basic FedEx Ground Shipping Transaction (020)
The basic FedEx Ground shipping transaction uses the same information outlined in the table above for
FedEx Express shipments.
However, there are several fields that require different field tags. These fields are:
Field Name
Field
ID
Description
Payor Account Number 20 FedEx Ground shipments require that you provide the 9-digit
FedEx account number if you want to bill your recipient or a third-
party account number for the FedEx Ground shipment.
Packaging Type 1273 The only packaging type that is valid for FedEx Ground shipments
is 01 – Customer Packaging.
Service Type 1274 Valid service types for FedEx Ground shipments are:
90 – FedEx Home Delivery
92 – FedEx Ground
These fields are required (under the circumstances described) for both FedEx Domestic Ground and
FedEx International Ground shipments. Additional optional fields that you may use to format your FedEx
Ground transactions are included in the FSMS TCR.
FedEx Home Delivery (FHD)
As part of FedEx Ground shipping, you may also ship packages using FedEx Home Delivery to
residential addresses. Although the basic FedEx Ground transaction can be used for FedEx Home
Delivery shipments, you may also use the following FedEx Home Delivery Types (in field 3020) for your
shipping needs:
• FedEx Signature Home Delivery: A signature from someone at the recipient address is required for
package delivery.
• FedEx Date Certain Home Delivery: Date Certain Home Delivery allows you to select a specific
delivery date for FedEx Home Delivery. For example, if your recipient is available to accept packages
on Thursdays, you may enter Thursday as the delivery date in your shipping transaction.
• FedEx Evening Home Delivery: If you enter this service option in the 020 transaction, the package
will be delivered between 5 PM and 8 PM, based on the recipient’s local time zone.
• FedEx Appointment Home Delivery: If you choose FedEx Appointment Home Delivery as a Ground
delivery type, your recipient is contacted by their local FedEx Home Delivery terminal when their
shipment arrives to set up a date and time for delivery.
Basic FedEx International Shipping Transaction (020)
FSMS allows FedEx International Express shipping from “anywhere-to-anywhere,” which means that you
can create shipping transactions both to and from any proscribed country whose service is supported by
FedEx. For FedEx International Ground shipping, you may ship from the U.S. to Canada and Puerto Rico
and vice versa.
