FedEx Ground Economy

In order to use FedEx Ground Economy shipping method, you need to first contact FedEx to enable it for your FedEx account.

Once you received the confirmation email containing the information for your label and manifest setup,  you need to complete the FedEx Ground Economy setup in ActionShip based on the information FedEx provided:

Navigate to Integrations => Carriers => FedEx

Click the ">" sign to expand the "FedEx Ground Economy Setup" section, filling in:

FedEx Ground Economy HubId:  (info from FedEx email)

FedEx Ground Economy Ancillary Endorsement:  pick one with your choice (please note that FedEx might charge for Return Service)

Please note:

1).  If  you choose FedEx Ground Economy in the shipping method for an Open Order, the shipping label will not print SKU since by default FedEx does not print it out for Ground Economy shipping.

2).  FedEx Ground Economy should only be used to ship orders from your address. It cannot be used to generate return label.

Ground Economy End of Day

Per FedEx,  only if you do Ground Economy End of Day, all the Ground Economy orders that you shipped (not just that same day) would immediately be closed and their tracking be sent to FedEx website.  If you don’t do End of Day,  the tracking will be only put on the website when the package is scanned by a Ground Economy device, normally when the package is delivered.

So to ensure the tracking numbers for all your shipped orders via FedEx Ground Economy  will show up on FedEx website, we strongly recommend you to:

  • Do Ground Economy End of Day frequently on the Batch History page
  • Do the End of Day whenever you want, like multiple times a day, and once every few days.
