r/FedEx on Reddit: Free or $4?
April 30, 2024 -
I’m attempting to schedule a home pickup for the first time, everywhere online says I should expect to pay $4 per package but when I go to schedule the one time pickup there’s nowhere to enter any payment information nor is a price mentioned. Am I somehow on the wrong scheduling tool? Any help would be appreciated!

I have home pickups everyday. And I schedule them through Fedex.com Fedex Ground/Home Delivery pickups are free. Fedex Express pickups cost $4/package. And they bill your account and send an invoice at the end of the month.

Drop it off a Walgreens or Dollar General store that are Fedex authorized ship locations... Just make sure you watch them scan it in to show they have possession.

Answer (1 of 7): If you are requesting a package pickup from FedEx Express (as opposed to, Ground) that you originate yourself, then yes. There is a small fee. If the shipment label was prepaid by someone else, as in the recipient i.e., a return label…, then no.

r/FedEx on Reddit: Questions about one time pickup
August 11, 2024 -
Hi folks
I am moving across the country and need to ship a couple of boxes. I am planning to try FedEx Ground shipping home pickup and I have a couple of questions:
Is there an additional cost for them to pick up the packages from my place (compared to let’s say I go to a Walmart FedEx)?
Once I schedule a pickup, do I need to *print * anything out? I don’t have a printer lol.
Thanks!

Good luck getting them to actually pick it up I would say if your shipping ground drop it off at a fedex office. Ground not reliable picking up takes days sometimes where express will pickup same day you call as long you call before 5pm

You can schedule a pickup through the FedEx website or by calling their customer service line. There are two primary types of home pickup services: scheduled and on-demand. Scheduled pickups are those that you arrange to occur on a regular basis, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. This option is ideal for businesses or individuals who regularly send packages. Scheduled pickups often come with discounted rates compared to on-demand services. On-demand pickups are one-time requests for package collection.

r/FedEx on Reddit: Pickup Fee??
August 25, 2025 -
I scheduled a one-time pickup on August 19th for the 20th, something I've done for years for free. I just received a bill for that pickup.
I called FedEx and the lady told me they've been charging that fee for "many years" which was never the case. I just saw online there was a change made August 18th and it's not free anymore.
Any way to get the fee waived one time? Not sure if I am blind and just missed it, but I definitely didn't see that advertised when I was scheduling the pickup.
EDIT: For more info, I've always had free ground and home delivery pickups, as long as they were one-time pickups (not recurring) and they weren't same-day. A quick search online shows I wasn't the only one, but I'm not exactly sure why that was the case for my account, seems like not everyone had those free.

No way to waive them now. From what I was told; A huge part has been people making scheduled pickups, then scheduling multiple on-calls throughout the day. One business on my route was doing this up to 7 times per day. It was costing them basically nothing, and disrupting my delivery route to the tune of making me work almost 2 hours of overtime every single day. If it was just one business or residence doing this, we’d let it slide. But it can be dozens on just a single route. So a balance had to be struck; that balance is that people can still schedule as many pickups as they want, they just need to pay for each and every one, so hopefully the added cost curtails the number of unnecessary pickups being scheduled.

Pickups have never been free. They have been 4 dollars ish until recently when costs increased.

FedEx to implement single pricing structure for express, standard pickups - FreightWaves
July 3, 2025 - The new pricing structure benefits customers by providing consistent and straightforward rates instead of customers having to track costs by the service offering being used, according to the carrier. It also provides more control in scheduling pickups because businesses can select the number of regular pickup days that fit their needs. Rather than charging ad hoc pickup fees per-package, FedEx will charge per-stop, which likely will save shippers money.

r/FedEx on Reddit: FedEx doubled daily pickup fees overnight, $23 to $43/week. Anyone else hit with this?
September 5, 2025 -
I just noticed FedEx quietly increased my daily Ground pickup fee from $23/week to $43/week. That’s $170/month!! just for them to stop by.
I’m in a business complex with 3 other companies that also get FedEx pickups.
Not rural, not residential.
UPS $12/week for the same service. USPS free.
For me, FedEx pickup now costs more than the shipping savings. I usually send 1–6 packages per day, and this increase basically wipes out the value of keeping FedEx in the mix.
The part that really bugs me: no notice. They just started charging an extra $20/week.
Is this happening to other small businesses? Did FedEx roll this out nationwide? I’m debating dropping FedEx altogether, but I’d like to know if this is an isolated hit or a wider policy change.

Yes, happened to me with no notice. I've scheduled online pickups for decades for our business. We're a very small business and use FedEx labels as provided by the hearing aid companies that we work with. I'm arguing with them about the bills they say I owe. I don't think I owe because they never informed me that they were going to start charging me for pickups. I have never had to pay for pickups before. I appreciate the fact that they may be having some financial issues, but give notice BEFORE you start charging for something that's been free forever. I've called and called and held for hours but haven't been able to talk to a supervisor. Any ideas.
