Additional LibShip Charges
Here are a few additional charges to be aware of when using LibShip.
Pick-Up Fee
A pick-up fee is charged each time you schedule a FedEx pick-up through LibShip. Every LibShip shipping label scanned during that pick-up will incur this charge.
If FedEx also picks up packages using shipping labels that were not created through LibShip, those charges will be billed directly to the shipping account associated with those labels.
Excess Weight
Packages weighing more than 45 lbs. will incur an additional $30 overweight fee.
To avoid additional charges, we recommend:
- Keeping each package under 45 lbs.
- Shipping boxes individually rather than taping multiple boxes together.
Declared Value Protection
Declared Value Protection is included with LibDib Gold and LibDib Silver plans.
When creating your shipping label, simply enter the total cost of goods to declare the shipment value. The cost is 1% of the declared value entered during label creation.
For Makers on other plans:
- You may leave the Declared Value field blank. In that case, FedEx's standard liability (up to $100 for approved loss or damage claims) will apply.
- If you would like to add Declared Value Protection, LibDib will apply an additional $5 LibShip fee.
Damage & Loss Reimbursement
LibShip shipments are sent FOB Shipping Point, meaning ownership transfers once the shipment has been accepted by FedEx.
As long as your shipment was packaged according to FedEx standards, Makers will be reimbursed for approved damage or loss claims based on the value of the products shipped.
LibShip Billing
LibShip charges are invoiced separately from your regular LibDib invoices.
After your shipments have been delivered and all carrier charges have been finalized, you will receive a monthly LibShip invoice covering all shipments since your previous invoice. Payment is due within 15 days.
Shipping charges are based on the rated weight of each shipment, which is the greater of:
- Actual (physical) weight
- Dimensional weight
Dimensional weight is calculated using the following formula:
(Length × Width × Height) ÷ 139
