FedEx has a service named "SmartPost,"" which in many contexts FedEx now calls "Ground Economy." This service combines both FedEx and USPS. FedEx transports the package most of the way to its destination, but USPS provides “last mile” delivery.
To ship by SmartPost/Ground Economy, you must arrange first with FedEx to enable it with your FedEx account. After you have done that, activate FedEx in Boxify normally by visiting the Boxify dashboard, scrolling down to the section on shipping carriers, and clicking on "Configure FedEx." After you have connected Boxify to FedEx, click on the button marked, "Set FedEx Options." Enter your Smartpost/Ground Economy Hub ID (which FedEx will have provided to you), and you will then be able to show these rates to customers at checkout.
Note that SmartPost/Ground Economy includes four different services:
- FedEx SmartPost® (by oz. 1–16)
- FedEx SmartPost® (by lb.)
- FedEx SmartPost® Bound Printed Matter
- FedEx SmartPost® Media
Boxify’s support is restricted to the first and second of these services. That is, Boxify doesn't provide special SmartPost/Ground Economy rates for bound printed matter or other media.
Because FedEx sometimes uses the name "SmartPost" and other times uses "Ground Economy," Boxify provides two copies of these rates, one with the service name "SmartPost" and the other with the service name "Ground Economy." When you select which services you want to allow to be displayed in a given shipping zone, choose whichever name you prefer that your customers see.
