FedEx's claim to fame may be its overnight delivery services, but the worldwide shipper offers many more solutions for small businesses. Whether you're sending a single package across town, shipping two tons of inventory to the other side of the globe or printing 1,500 postcards for a marketing mailing, you can find a solution to your needs. With its purchase of Kinko's in 2003 and greater emphasis on serving small business – including a special Small Business Center and visibility through over 1,200 Kinko's locations – FedEx has become the repository of a long list of vital resources for small businesses of all kinds. Using FedEx more effectively can: Save time Save money Take the guesswork out of shipping Reduce shipping errors Facilitate printing jobs Tips & Tactics Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide If you're sending a package locally, FedEx Ground service can often deliver it overnight although it won't guarantee overnight delivery. If it isn't imperative that your package arrive overnight, choose this option to save money. It sounds counterintuitive, but International Priority is often less expensive than International Economy and it arrives quicker. Always check the rates before sending. If you print out a shipping label then realize you made a mistake, don't worry. You can delete shipments online as long as you haven't actually shipped the package and it's the same day you printed out the label.
