New Account Set-Up 

FedEx New Account Set-Up

USC faculty and staff who would like to establish a new FedEx account and benefit from the savings associated with USC's contract need to complete the following steps.

  1. Call 1-800-GOFEDEX and say "New Account Setup" at the prompt.
  2. You will be connected to an representative who will assist with the setup.
  3. You will be asked to provide an account name (i.e. USC Biology, etc), contact name, address, and phone number for the shipper address.
  4. Let the representative know you will be billing to a credit card (P-Card) and provide your P-Card information.  Note that the billing address on FedEx account must match billing address on P-Card.
  5. You will be given your 9 digit FedEx account number and sent a welcome kit.
  6. When you receive your 9-digit FedEx account number, send an email to damon.hawkins@fedex.com. In your email, include your account number and a request to link the account number to USC's pricing program.

Note that payment via Procurement Card (P-Card) is required to bill against a nine-digit FedEx account number.  If you do not want to use a P-Card, you can use an Outgoing Mail Requisition (for which you do not need a FedEx account).
