How Much Does It Cost to Send A Letter By Fedex



For a letter to be sent by Fedex, there are a host of service options from which to choose.

To send within a relatively short distance - say across the same state - it often makes sense to deliver with Fedex Ground since the item is claimed to get there in one to five business days (more for Alaska, Hawaii). Specifically, the Fedex 2 day delivery claimed to arrive by 5:00 pm, can compete with other services at around $22.50 when within the same state. Though this does represent the minimum weight envelope and prices can and will vary.

When one expands the destination to say, cross country, that same ground fee can easily hike 20% and more but often stays reasonable. Too, it is important to note that Saturday deliveries carry a $16 a parcel surcharge.

Critically, as an idea you may want to run various Fedex overnight options yourself before committing here. That include: Priority Overnight, First Overnight and Standard Overnight (fees charged can triple at times while potentially getting there in the same time window). Possibly with the Fedex Express Saver in the thereabouts of four days, give or take, but a cheaper option.



Tips for Fedex Letters:

  • For those choosing to ship by ground the customers packaging is utilized.

  • If shipping by the express service, Fedex can provide a letter envelope.

  • By dropping your letter off at a local Fedex Office, any associated pickup fees that can exceed twenty dollars can be eliminated.
