Future Day Shipping
Future Day shipping allows you to prepare a FedEx Express shipment up to ten (10) days from the actual
ship date and a FedEx Ground shipment up to ninety (90) days from the actual ship date. A label prints
when the shipment is processed, but the shipment may be held until the Future Day becomes current
before tendering the package to the Courier. A FedEx Express label displays the Future Ship date, but
will not appear on the FedEx Ground label. To ship Future Day shipments, include field 24 (Ship Date) in
the transaction with the desired shipping date.
Hold at Location (HAL)
FedEx Express packages may be designated as Hold at Location (HAL) shipments. With this designation,
the packages are kept at a designated FedEx distribution facility until picked up by the
recipient/consignee. FedEx Express labels display “Hold at Location” to indicate that packages will not be
delivered by a FedEx Courier. After a HAL package is received at the FedEx station, the recipient is
notified by FedEx station personnel that the package is available for pickup.
Inside Pickup and Delivery
FedEx offers this service for customers who do not have the necessary equipment to move shipments to
the loading area. FedEx will move shipments from positions beyond the pickup or delivery site which are
directly accessible from the curb and are no more than 50 feet inside the outermost door. FedEx Inside
Pickup and Delivery is for the FedEx 1Day, 2Day, and 3Day Freight services and does not require a
special service contract with FedEx. If a shipment breakdown is necessary to fit a shipment through a
doorway, additional charges may be assessed. FedEx does not provide piece count or piece verification
when a breakdown of a freight shipment occurs at the delivery site.
Broker Select Option (BSO)
The Broker Select Option (BSO) is a service offered by FedEx where you can choose to use a non-FedEx
broker for customs clearance. Once cleared, FedEx delivers the shipment to its final destination, or you
may choose to have your non-FedEx broker make arrangements for final delivery. BSO is available to
more than 121 countries. BSO is also known as IPBSO (International Priority Broker Select Option).
The basic business rules for using BSO are as follows:
• BSO is available for FedEx International Priority and FedEx International Economy Express services
only.
• You must enter the broker’s name, city, state, postal code, and phone number on every FedEx
International waybill for which you want to use the BSO option.
• All FSMS label formats support BSO. These formats are: Laser Air Waybill, Thermal Air Waybill, PNG
(Portable Network Graphic), and Multi-ply Air Waybill.
Transaction fields for BSO are part of the 020 Transaction set. All transaction fields required for BSO are
provided in the FSMS TCR Version 7.6 under Global Ship Request – Transaction Code 020: Broker
Select Option (BSO, FedEx Express only).
