Whether you’re sending a care package to a college student, shipping documents to a client, or mailing products to customers, FedEx offers reliable delivery options across the country and around the world. But with so many choices—Ground, Express, International, Freight—it can be confusing to know which service to choose or how to prepare your package correctly.
That’s where Pack It Up Cibolo comes in. As your local FedEx Authorized ShipCenter, we help residents and businesses in Cibolo, Schertz, and the surrounding area pack, label, and ship safely and efficiently. This guide walks you through every step of the process—from choosing the right FedEx service to preparing your shipment for pickup or drop-off at our location.
1. Understand Your Shipping Options
FedEx offers several service levels based on delivery speed, cost, and destination. Knowing which one to choose will save time and money.
FedEx Ground:
Best for domestic packages that don’t require overnight delivery. Most shipments reach their destination within 1–5 business days.
FedEx Express:
Ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, including overnight, 2-day, or 3-day shipping options. Express also includes Saturday delivery for many destinations.
FedEx International Economy & Priority:
Perfect for shipping abroad. Economy is more cost-effective but slower, while Priority provides faster global delivery with customs clearance assistance.
FedEx Freight:
For large, heavy, or palletized shipments. Pack It Up Cibolo can assist with freight documentation, pickup scheduling, and packaging guidance.
At Pack It Up Cibolo, our trained staff helps you compare costs and timelines across FedEx options—ensuring you choose the right one every time.
2. Proper Packaging Matters
One of the most common reasons for shipping delays or damages is improper packaging. FedEx has specific packaging standards designed to keep shipments safe during handling and transit.
Key Tips:
- Use a new, corrugated shipping box rated for your item’s weight.
- Fill all empty spaces with packing paper, bubble wrap, or air pillows.
- Avoid newspaper—it compresses and offers little protection.
- Seal seams with strong shipping tape (not masking or duct tape).
- Remove old shipping labels and barcodes if reusing a box.
For fragile items such as glass, electronics, or artwork, ask our team at Pack It Up Cibolo about FedEx-approved boxes and double-boxing techniques to add an extra layer of protection.
3. Label and Document Correctly
A well-packed box is only as good as its label.
FedEx’s automated systems rely on clear, scannable labels to ensure accuracy and speed.
Labeling Best Practices:
- Print or write clearly—avoid smudged ink or faded markers.
- Include both sender and recipient contact information.
- If reusing a box, cover or remove all old labels.
- For international shipments, include a commercial invoice listing the item’s description, quantity, and value.
At Pack It Up Cibolo, we can print FedEx labels directly in-store, generate customs forms, and verify barcode readability before your package ships. We make sure your shipment meets every FedEx standard so it arrives on time and intact.
4. Drop Off or Schedule Pickup
Once your package is packed and labeled, you have two convenient options: drop it off or schedule a pickup.
