3Peak — Residential Delivery Charge
Customers at the enterprise level who meet a certain volume threshold (as indicated below) will be charged a Peak — Residential Delivery Charge. The scope of a customer’s volume shall be determined by FedEx in its sole discretion. The Peak — Residential Delivery Charge will be assessed in addition to the customer’s Residential Delivery Charge. Any contracted discount or cap the customer may have on the Residential Delivery Charge will not apply to the Peak — Residential Delivery Charge. For invoicing purposes, this charge will be combined with the customer’s current Residential Delivery Charge. Your FedEx sales representative will reach out to you regarding how it may impact you.
- For customers who ship more than 30,000 weekly average packages (total for FedEx Express* and FedEx Ground U.S. domestic residential packages and FedEx Ground® Economy packages) from Jan. 4, 2021–Jan. 31, 2021 (the “Shipping History Period”), the Peak – Residential Delivery Charge will apply. The charge amount in the table above will apply to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground U.S. domestic residential packages (excluding FedEx Ground Economy and FedEx One Rate® packages).
