The Complete FedEx Drop Box Locations Guide (Quick Guide) | Easyship Blog (2024)

Just like UPS, FedEx vies to impress eCommerce businesses with how convenient they are – by offering their reliable express services at numerous retail locations nationwide.

The availability of these locations gives small business owners more flexibility, as FedEx stores, FedEx drop box locations, and additional partnerships with major retailers provide access to 24-hour services, later pickup times, and other delivery opportunities.

Here are the different FedEx locations that are available, the types of services they offer, and how to find them.

If you’re looking for a FedEx Kinkos near you, you won’t find any as FedEx dropped the “Kinkos” name back in 2008. But not to worry – FedEx Office locations continue to give customers access to value-added options such as parcel packing, printing, and design services.

You can expect to ship parcels with the following FedEx solutions:

FedEx Domestic Services:

FedEx Ship Centers provide another option for customers looking to utilize FedEx services.

How is a FedEx Ship Center different from a FedEx Office location? FedEx Ship Centers don’t offer services such as packing and office printing, their hours are not as long as FedEx Offices, and their shipping solutions are slightly limited. However, they do provide special support for shipping approved dangerous goods and hazardous materials, and offer late dropoff times – usually, 1 hour later than FedEx Office locations.

FedEx Ship Centers offer the following services:

FedEx Domestic Services:

FedEx Drop Boxes are unmanned receptacles where you can drop off shipments with pre-paid labels for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, and FedEx SmartPost service levels.

FedEx partners with both Office Depot and OfficeMax. These retail locations offer domestic and international shipping options. You can expect to find FedEx Express and FedEx Ground service levels, in addition to packing supplies. Packing services are available at most Office Depot and OfficeMax locations.

Other pack-and-ship stores may partner with FedEx, and are designated as “FedEx Authorized ShipCenters”. These stores offer professional packing and labeling services and offer both domestic and international shipping through popular FedEx shipping solutions.

FedEx prides itself in having thousands of locations nationwide, making it convenient for merchants needing assistance with packing, shipping, supplies, and deliveries.

FedEx’s Locations page is the best source for finding the FedEx location nearest you. Results show useful information such as FedEx hours of operation, last pickup times, and other value-added services.

To find a FedEx drop-off near you, visit FedEx’s Locations page and enter in your address. If you already have a pre-paid label, you can choose to filter results by clicking on “Drop box shipping” to find the nearest unmanned receptacle.

FedEx drop boxes are usually located near office buildings, airports, shopping centers, and grocery stores.

However, if you need additional services added, or feel more comfortable dropping off your shipment where there are people around, you can click on “Drop labeled package at staffed location”, which will show FedEx Office, FedEx Ship Centers, and other retail outlets in the results.

You can drop off parcels being shipped via FedEx Ground at any FedEx drop-off location. However, it’s worth noting that FedEx Ground pickup times may vary from FedEx Express pickup times, in that they are earlier and may not be available during weekends.

You can see the FedEx Ground pickup times listed when looking at the results on the FedEx Locations page.

Thanks to FedEx’s partnership with Walgreens, you can access 24 hour FedEx services at any Walgreens that is open throughout the night.

To find 24-hour locations, click on “24-hour services” under More Services.

With many retail locations, relationships with local pack-and-ship stores, and partnerships with major retailers such as Office Depot, Office Max, and Walgreens, it’s easy to find a FedEx location that provides the shipping services you need.

While the closest FedEx store makes it easy for eCommerce merchants to keep their business running, Easyship also works with FedEx to add an additional level of convenience!
