That isn\u2019t a huge achievement, since Fedex\u2019s posted rates that they show are high to give potential clients a heart attack. For some time, I was happy with FedEx, but the relationship got completely spoiled lately. It went classic \u201cbait and switch\u201d. They started adding all kinds of additional charges, like Inside Pickup, Fuel Surcharge, etc. and as result, I paid about twice more than planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could occasionally reduce the extra charges, but only after exhausting calls to their not very friendly support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After switching to Freightera we ran this experiment. Two identical in weight and size packages were sent by FedEx and Freightera to identical addresses. And here are the results:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipment to Minnesota was 33% cheaper and to Buffalo \u2013 amazing 51%! All in Canadian dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Package type \/ FedEx Freight \/ Freightera \/ Savings<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">106 lb to Buffalo, NY $347.42 \/ $171.13\u00a0 \/ 51%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">106 lb to St Cloud, MN $357.00 \/ $237.67\u00a0 \/ 33%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it works, tested, recommended<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by div_by_zero, 2017-01-08\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that <\/span><b><i>we are<\/i><\/b> <b>currently partnered with FedEx<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Freight as one of our carriers and that they do, in fact, provide the best service and pricing for certain shipping lanes.
