Ordering

• PCard

Where FedEx must be used because UPS cannot provide the specific requirement, the P-Card will be used as the payment method. We recommend establishing a new FedEx account. You may need assistance from Jennifer Henderson, FedEx Worldwide Account Manager, to update the billing method to P-Card or to establish a FedEx online profile.

Jennifer Henderson can be reached at [email protected] or (773) 332-2608.

P-Card Holders needing to establish a new FedEx account and receive negotiated rates must complete all of the following steps:

1. Complete and submit the Request for Exception form
2. Have a valid University P-Card
3. Complete the FedEx account request form and send it to [email protected]. The account will be emailed to you.
4. Once you receive the account, create a FedEx online login ID and password at FedEx.com and register the account.
5. Sign up for FedEx Billing OnlinePlus- allows the account holder to review and dispute charges before they are paid. FedEx Billing Online Plus will show as a summary billing line for each payment on your P-Card statement.

Any FedEx small package invoices that are not billed to a specific account and/or were not automatically billed to a P-Card can be paid using a P-Card by calling 800-GO-FedEx (800-463-3339). Use expense type Freight/Shipping. Alternatively, a non-PO voucher can be used to pay a one-time FedEx invoice only if the unit does not have a P-Card established.

FedEx Freight:
Freight invoices under $5,000 should be paid via P-Card. Invoices over $5,000 should be paid by entering an ePro requisition (Purchase Order), leave the supplier ID blank and choose Todd Coon (tcoon) as the buyer.
