Overview

Common mistakes

  1. Missing Required Information: Failing to fill in mandatory fields such as shipper and consignee details can lead to delays. Always ensure you provide complete addresses, including ZIP codes and phone numbers.

  2. Incorrect Service Type Selection: Selecting the wrong service type can result in unexpected charges. Carefully review your options to choose the one that best fits your needs.

  3. Omitting Special Instructions: If there are specific requirements for handling your shipment, be sure to include them. This helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures proper care.

  4. Not Indicating C.O.D. Details: If you require a Cash on Delivery (C.O.D.) service, ensure that you mark it clearly and provide the amount. Missing this can complicate the payment process.

  5. Failure to Declare Value: If your shipment's value exceeds standard liability limits, you must declare it explicitly. Not doing so could leave you underinsured in case of loss or damage.

  6. Ignoring Hazardous Material Designation: If your shipment contains hazardous materials, it’s crucial to mark them appropriately. This is not just a formality; it ensures compliance with safety regulations.

  7. Inaccurate Weight and Dimensions: Providing incorrect weight or dimensions can lead to billing disputes. Always double-check these figures to avoid unexpected costs.

  8. Not Reviewing Terms and Conditions: Ignoring the terms and conditions can lead to misunderstandings. Familiarize yourself with the FXF 100 Series Rules Tariff to understand your rights and responsibilities.

Similar forms

  • Uniform Commercial Invoice: Similar to the FedEx Bill of Lading, a commercial invoice details the goods being shipped, including their value and description. It serves as a record for customs and is crucial for international shipping, just as the Bill of Lading is essential for domestic transport.

  • Air Waybill: This document functions similarly to a Bill of Lading but is specifically used for air freight. It provides details about the shipment and acts as a contract between the shipper and the airline, much like how the Bill of Lading serves between the shipper and the freight carrier.

  • Ocean Bill of Lading: Used for shipments transported by sea, this document outlines the terms of the shipment and acts as a receipt for the cargo, similar to the FedEx Bill of Lading, which also serves as a receipt and contract for ground transportation.

  • Delivery Receipt: A delivery receipt confirms that the goods have been received by the consignee. While the Bill of Lading serves as a contract for the shipment, the delivery receipt provides proof of delivery, ensuring that the consignee acknowledges receipt of the goods.

  • Freight Bill: This document is issued by the carrier and details the charges for transporting goods. Like the FedEx Bill of Lading, it includes information about the shipment and is essential for billing purposes, ensuring that all parties are aware of the costs involved.

While the Bill of Lading provides detailed terms and conditions, the shipping label is focused on the logistics of delivery, making both documents critical for successful shipping.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the FedEx Bill of Lading form, it’s important to follow certain guidelines to ensure the process goes smoothly. Here are some do's and don'ts to keep in mind:

  • Do provide accurate information for both the shipper and consignee, including ZIP codes and phone numbers.
  • Do select the appropriate service type that best meets your shipping needs.
  • Do indicate any optional services, such as liftgate or inside delivery, if required.
  • Do clearly state the declared value of the property if necessary, especially for freight collect shipments.
  • Don't leave any required fields blank; incomplete forms can lead to delays or issues with delivery.
  • Don't forget to check the hazardous materials column if applicable, marking it correctly if your shipment contains such materials.

Following these guidelines will help ensure that your shipping experience is efficient and hassle-free. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to FedEx customer service for assistance.

Misconceptions

Understanding the FedEx Bill of Lading form is essential for anyone involved in shipping freight. However, several misconceptions can lead to confusion. Here are seven common misunderstandings:

  • It is negotiable. The FedEx Bill of Lading is marked as "NOT NEGOTIABLE," meaning it cannot be transferred to another party. This document serves as a receipt and contract between the shipper and carrier.
  • All shipments are automatically insured. Many assume that shipping with FedEx includes automatic insurance coverage for lost or damaged items. In reality, standard liability coverage is limited, and additional insurance must be purchased for higher value shipments.
  • C.O.D. means cash on delivery only. While many people think C.O.D. refers solely to cash payments, it can also include certified funds, company checks, or personal checks. This flexibility is important for shippers and consignees to understand.
  • Hazardous materials can be shipped without special instructions. There is a misconception that hazardous materials can be shipped like regular items. In fact, specific regulations and markings are required to ensure safe transportation.
  • Weight and dimensions are not important. Some shippers believe that weight and dimensions do not affect shipping costs. However, accurate information is crucial, as it can influence pricing and the method of transport.
  • Additional service fees are optional. While some services, such as liftgate or inside delivery, may be optional, they often come with extra charges. Shippers should be aware of these potential costs when completing the form.
  • The form is the same for all types of shipments. The FedEx Bill of Lading may vary based on the type of service selected. Different services may require additional information or different terms, so it is important to review the specific requirements for each shipment.

By clarifying these misconceptions, shippers can better navigate the FedEx Bill of Lading form and ensure a smoother shipping process.
