Rate Information

Sample Rates

A sample list of USC's contract rates with FedEx through E&I is provided below.  

Confirmation of Correct Rates

USC FedEx customers who want to confirm that they are receiving the correct rates, can login to www.fedex.com and use the rates listed below in a test shipment ("Get Rates & Transit Times).

Surcharges
  • Residential Surcharge -- USC's FedEx Express and Ground Rates are marked up when the delivery is to a residence.  The markup ranges between $1.50 - $3.00, depending on the type of shipping service.
  • Fuel Surcharge -- Because of high fuel costs, FedEx may charge a fuel surcharge for some express services. 
Rate and Billing Adjustments

When your shipment arrives at FedEx, it is reweighed.  If you incorrectly estimated the weight of a shipment in www.fedex.com or if additional fees applied to your shipment (such as a customs fees for international shipments) your P-Card or ASR (Outgoing Mail Requisitions) will reflect any adjustments.
