FedEx Real-Time Rates (U.S. & Canada)
After you register your FedEx account with NetSuite, you can offer FedEx shipping options with real-time rates. When a customer ships with FedEx, the customer's location current rate is automatically entered into in the Amount field on your website and transaction pages.
Rates for orders to be shipped from a Canadian location do not include Canadian tax.
During the order fulfillment, FedEx can validate the package shipping address. Address validation is available for more than 40 countries. If the address is not valid, an error message is sent to verify and correct the shipping address. To learn more, See Setting Shipping Preferences.
After adding a FedEx account, you can create shipping items that charge customers FedEx real-time rates. Real-time rates are calculated based on the item's weight, the selected shipping method, the frequency of pickups, and the zip code.

NetSuite calculates FedEx rates based on the following:
-
Packages picked up during your regular daily FedEx pickup
-
Whether packaging material is provided by the shipper
-
If the destination is a commercial destination. Residential rates are higher in some delivery areas
-
Multiple products are placed in one package, the weight of the package may be less than the estimated rate submitted due to weight rounding
-
The rate is determined by product weight only and some packages may incur additional FedEx fees based on package dimensions or additional services
Weight and size limits apply to all packages that are not sent by FedEx Express® Freight. The maximum weight limit for packages is 150 pounds. The maximum size for a package equals 130 inches in combined length (the longest side of the package) and girth (the distance all the way around the package at its widest point perpendicular to the length), and the maximum length per package equals 108 inches. Packages over these weight and size limits can be sent by FedEx Express® Freight, which has a 2200 pound weight limit.
