Shipments


Nowadays, one of the most critical points of business is the transportation of what you sell. If you don’t consider this within your business strategy, you will soon be out of business. FedEx has build up their business on this need, and it became today on the top of the pyramid.
  According to this, FedEx offers many options to the users. Business or persons can choose which system to use corresponding to their needs and preferences.

Tracking


FedEx strategy is to maintain its position among the best companies in its class. For this reason, the company has paid great attention to its website, and provided to users the easiest way to track their packages online. FedEx has come up with the three following ways:
FedEx Tracking Tools enable you to find out the status of your shipments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without having to call FedEx customer service. This will help you save time and obtain an electronic proof of your shipment status, which you can forward as you wish. All of our shipping tools provide full tracking capabilities. In addition, specific tools are available to allow tracking through the internet and email.

Internet tracking – Internet Tracking allows you to query and obtain package status information via fedex.com for up to 30 shipments simultaneously. Detailed tracking results can be forwarded to up to three email addresses. Select "Track" on the FedEx homepage. You can track your packages at any time from any place in the world.

E-mail tracking – You can track the status of your shipments using the convenience of email. Just send an email to track@fedex.com from anywhere in the world to receive detailed tracking information on up to 30 Air Waybills with one request. Within minutes results are received and can be forwarded to as many parties as necessary.

FedEx Web Services – FedEx Web Services is the next generation API for integrating software applications with FedEx Systems. From a business and product planning standpoint, FedEx Web Services is an ideal choice for integration. Essentially, they are a collection of programming technologies that allows users to build customized solutions for application integration.

FedEx InSight® – FedEx InSight® is a new online shipment visibility application. Using your company's account number(s), InSight provides actionable status information about your shipments. It automatically tracks your incoming, outgoing and third party payer shipments (without a tracking number) and can immediately notify you via email of delivery, clearance delays and attempted delivery.
For some special deliveries, FedEx will ask you for your signature for proofing purposes. This action is for the costumer security.
