FedEx is a global parcel and freight carrier billing on a per-transaction basis: each shipment is charged based on service level (overnight, 2-day, ground), weight, dimensions, and destination. Businesses may also incur weekly scheduled pickup fees or per-stop on-call pickup charges. FedEx SameDay Local (via OneRail) provides rapid local delivery using driver networks. All charges are ordinary shipping and logistics costs. Note: this vendor has been miscategorized as 'Rideshare & taxi' — FedEx is a shipping/logistics expense.

Documentation tips

-   Retain FedEx shipping receipts or the monthly invoice from fedex.com — they itemize each shipment with tracking number, weight, and service type for IRS documentation.
-   If FedEx charges include both business and personal shipments on a shared account, separate them before expensing — only business-purpose shipments are deductible.
-   Scheduled weekly pickup fees are deductible even in weeks with few shipments; document the recurring business need (e.g., 'weekly client sample shipments') to support the deduction.
-   High-volume shippers should negotiate a FedEx account discount — lower rates directly reduce your deductible shipping costs and improve margins.
-   Reclassify this expense from 'Rideshare & taxi' to 'Shipping & postage' or 'Logistics' for accurate financial reporting.
