Common mistakes

  1. Failing to include the required ZIP codes and phone numbers for both the shipper and consignee. Accurate contact information is essential for successful delivery.

  2. Not selecting a service type. Choosing the appropriate service type affects delivery speed and cost. Ensure that the selection is clear and matches the shipment needs.

  3. Overlooking optional services such as liftgate or inside delivery. These services can enhance the delivery experience but must be explicitly requested.

  4. Incorrectly marking the C.O.D. option. If the shipment is to be collected, the letters "C.O.D." must be clearly indicated before the consignee’s name.

  5. Not specifying the declared value for C.O.D. shipments. This value must be clearly stated to ensure proper liability coverage.

  6. Neglecting to include emergency contact information for hazardous materials. This information is critical for safety during transport.

  7. Failing to sign the shipper certification section. This signature confirms that the shipment complies with all regulations and accurately describes the contents.

  8. Not reviewing the terms and conditions of the FXF 100 Series Rules Tariff. Understanding these terms is crucial for knowing your rights and responsibilities.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the FedEx Bill of Lading form, there are important practices to keep in mind. Here’s a list of dos and don’ts to ensure your shipment goes smoothly.

  • Do provide complete and accurate information for both the shipper and consignee, including ZIP codes and phone numbers.
  • Do select the appropriate service type that meets your shipping needs.
  • Do indicate any optional services you may require, such as liftgate or inside delivery.
  • Do clearly mark any hazardous materials in the designated column.
  • Don't leave any required fields blank, as this can delay processing.
  • Don't forget to sign the form where indicated, as your signature is necessary for validation.
  • Don't underestimate the importance of accurately stating the declared value of the shipment.
  • Don't neglect to review the terms and conditions applicable to your shipment, as these can affect liability and charges.

Misconceptions

Misconceptions about the FedEx Bill of Lading form can lead to confusion and errors in shipping. Below are some common misunderstandings, along with clarifications to help navigate the process more effectively.

  • Misconception 1: The Bill of Lading is not necessary for all shipments.
  • In reality, a Bill of Lading is essential for any freight shipment. It serves as a receipt for the goods and outlines the terms of the transportation agreement.

  • Misconception 2: Only the shipper needs to fill out the Bill of Lading.
  • Both the shipper and the consignee must provide accurate information. This includes contact details and addresses to ensure proper delivery.

  • Misconception 3: The Bill of Lading guarantees delivery by a specific date.
  • While the form may include options for priority delivery, it does not guarantee that the shipment will arrive on a specific date. Factors such as weather and logistics can affect delivery times.

  • Misconception 4: The Bill of Lading covers all types of goods equally.
  • Different types of goods may require special handling or additional services. For example, hazardous materials need to be marked accordingly, and extra fees may apply for specialized services.

  • Misconception 5: Once the Bill of Lading is signed, the shipper has no further responsibilities.
  • Signing the Bill of Lading does not absolve the shipper of responsibility. The shipper must ensure that the goods are properly packaged and comply with all regulations for safe transport.
