Yes, there is a FedEx residential surcharge. There are different surcharges for different service types whenever you send a residential shipment through FedEx that may add a fuel surcharge or other charges to your postage label fee. The residential surcharge is determined by FedEx.
What is the FedEx surcharge and how does it work?
A postage surcharge is an additional fee that is charged on top of the base postage fee. The FedEx residential surcharge applies to shipments addressed to a home or private residence. Basically, this additional charge is generated due to the delivery of a package to a single location, as opposed to a business location where multiple packages would be delivered at once.
