New Partner for Departmental Shipping
This message has been approved by Michael Williams, Associate Vice President for Finance and Administration, for distribution to all faculty and staff.
The Office of Business Services is pleased to announce that beginning Friday, April 22, 2022, Florida State University will transition from UPS to partner with FedEx for departmental outbound shipping services, available through the State of Florida contract.
Recent changes in fuel surcharges, shipping fees, and increased delivery costs have created a need to change the University’s carrier to provide the best available pricing for the campus community. This initiative will serve all University locations within Florida and departments will have access to a full range of cost-competitive, value-driven shipping solutions.
Current departmental UPS iShip users received an initial communication about the transition and will receive their “official” welcome email from Postal Services on Friday, April 22, 2022, to set up their new FSU FedEx account. This service offers the same benefits as the iShip program such as:
- Outbound package pickup as part of your normal mail pickup; bulk pickup options are available
- Centralized invoicing and billing under your annual Postal Services PO
- Customer support for FedEx shipping issues
