Looking for something similar to Pirate Ship that offers discounted FedEx labels. I sometimes buy stuff outside my local area from places that don't offer their own shipping. I've been buying UPS labels through Pirate Ship and having them drop the stuff off at their local UPS Store and charge the packing fees to my UPS account but those stores are all franchises that set their own rates and a lot of them want to bend you over. FedEx Office stores have packing rates set by corporate based on box size so you know roughly how much you're going to be paying ahead of time.
Are there any discount label services for FedEx labels out there that don't require massive volume or subscription fees?

I am in the US. I use PirateShip and Shippo to buy cheap UPS labels. Is there a similar site that sells FedEx labels? I made an account on fedex.com but the prices are high (I assume the retail rates).
I just bought a thermal printer and heard that FedEx offers free shipping labels, but have been unable to find any information about this online after about a solid hour of googling. Is this still a thing that FedEx offers?
I don't own a printer and I use my local FedEx to print shipping labels. I use the self-service Print & Go Retrieval Code option. But instead of a peel-able/sticker shipping label a paper like a typical printed one comes out. But, once I got help from a worker b/c the machine was acting up they were able to print a sticker-like label that wasn't paper and could be peeled off and applied to a box or something. Is there an option on the machines? Thank you for your help
I recently started using my eBay account to print fedex labels due to the seemingly good discounted rates I get for bulky packages and/or packages shipped to businesses, but the labels weren't necessarily being used for the eBay transaction itself (Basically using old eBay sales to print a new label to a custom address)
Well, turns out doing that gives you "late package" defects against the seller account, so that idea is out the window. I lost my "Top Rated Seller" status because of this, even though no packages meant for the ebay buyers were -actually- late.
So I'm looking for a place that lets me purchase Fedex labels at a (deep) discount that is also preferably free (That is, no subscription fees or minimum quantity obligations). Anyone got any suggestions? I only ship like 2-5 packages/month with fedex, and the price is only a few bucks cheaper than USPS (Like $23 USPS vs $13 fedex for a slightly bulky box going to a business across the nation).
A few bucks?? You are already paying about 45% less than USPS?? You'd gave to find someone who gets a discount and they'd have to let you use their account number. Probably not going to happen. There are affiliations though that can get you good rates if you are linked to them.
Print automated labels for a discount or shop more with your account. Kind of weird you came looking on here for an answer to free service when a lot of people on this forum depend on service fees.
Basically the title. I have been getting them free through FedEx for as long as i can remember and recently they have been limiting me. I honestly can't blame them as i dont use fedex much, mostly usps but it depends on the items i get in.
Does anyone have a good source? Cheaper the better as long as they print good quality. I ship 300-400 packages a month so i go through them fairly quick. I use a Zebra LP2844 and usually get the 4x6 inch labels. Thank you
I have a Zebra ZP505 printer that prints off of Fed Ex ship manager, it is a 4X6 adhesive label with a perforated tab with the tracking number for my records. I used to be able to get them on fedex.com for free, then maybe a year or 2 ago they took them off the website and you have to call, last time they only sent me 2 rolls which only lasted a month. Now there is no way to get in touch with any human, the automated message tells me I can order supplies online but I have looked all over their website and they do not have them. I know they are not discontinued because I get fedex packages with this label. Uline has them for $20 per roll but that would be $40/month just for labels that I have got for free for years. I use a similar label with UPS worldship and they still have those labels on UPS.com for free. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have recommended shipping label platforms for low volume startups (<100 packages a month) that either:
Costs less than $9.00 per item to ship a <2oz, 8"x6" rigid mailer to Australia & most E.U. markets, DDU
OR:
Does not require a subscription model to import custom negotiated rates with your carriers?
Hi! I accidentally left some clothes in a hotel 3 states away and they said to email them a shipping label so they can send it back. Where do I go online to do that?
I regularly ship out products from my small business using FedEx Ground. I used to use the FedEx website for entering and processing these shipments, but once I got a Zebra label printer, it worked better to use the stand-along FedEx Ship Manager software that you can install on Windows computers.
However, after using the software for a few months, I've found it to really be lacking. For instance, I can't save the info from frequently sent packages as a Shipment Profile (which saves the weight, dimensions, insurance amt., etc., for a particular shipment for reuse later) in the software, like you can on FedEx's website.
For those who have used both the website and the stand alone software, which do you prefer and which is more powerful and can do more things?
I have a return label for a package that needs to go out, but I don't have access to a printer - is it possible to bring the label on my phone and have it printed out in store?
Apple said yes for fedex express shipment. wonder if best buy or insta360 would for fedex ground?
I have called the 800 number a couple of times to ask about this, and was told it was not possible. I can't be 100% sure they really understood what I was trying to do, but I would really be surprised if this was truly impossible.
I need a friend to overnight me a couple of packages while I am out of town... same address, same weight, same sized padded envelope. To make it easier on her, I would like to pre-purchase a few boxes & generate labels (all to the same address, using my Fedex account) so all she has to do is fill up the box, close it with tape, and drop it in the pickup box. Even if she has to give it to an employee at the store when ready to ship, Is there really no way to accomplish this?
I work with a client that has to FedEx me documents on a regular basis. Generally, what I do is generate a label for them online, email them the PDF and they print it. However, what I’d prefer to do is mail them a dozen or so printed labels (on sticker labels) and just have them use those as needed. But I noticed that you can only create labels for shipments a few weeks out.
Basically I’d like to give them a year supply of physical labels at once. is there a way to do this?
