Easyship Launches FedEx Rates in the Netherlands and United Kingdom

How Can European Merchants Benefit from the Easyship and FedEx Partnership?

Instead of negotiating a carrier contract or meeting shipment volume thresholds, businesses can connect their store to Easyship and start booking FedEx services straight away. Easyship and FedEx have already grown together in the US. This expansion brings the same access to European merchants. 

For merchants, that means access to the FedEx European network and what it's known for:

• Speed: time-definite and next-business-day options, including domestic delivery before 12:00pm with FedEx® Priority Express.
• Reliability: a consistent, day-definite delivery experience across European lanes, with end-to-end tracking.
• Customs handled: customs clearance built into door-to-door cross-border services, so there's less paperwork when selling into other EU markets.
• Issue resolution: support from both Easyship and FedEx when a shipment needs attention. 

Why This Matters for SMEs

Until now, many smaller European brands found premium carrier access hard to get. FedEx services often required a direct account and steady shipment volumes. Through Easyship:

1. No volume minimums. SMEs can ship with FedEx from their first order.
2. One integration for every market. Ship domestic, within the EU and internationally from one dashboard, without setting up separate carriers for each region.
3. Works with your store. Connect Shopify, WooCommerce or other supported platforms and access FedEx services without custom integration work.
4. All the Easyship tools, built in. Branded tracking, shipping insurance, rates at checkout and label generation for every FedEx service, without leaving the platform.
5. Room to grow across Europe. As the partnership expands to Germany and beyond, merchants can reach new markets without changing their setup.

How Does FedEx Regional Economy Work for Cross-Border Shipping in Europe?

FedEx Regional Economy is for cross-border orders that need reliable delivery but not premium speed. It's day-definite, so merchants and customers know which day a parcel will arrive rather than getting a broad window. Customs clearance is part of the door-to-door service, and parcels can weigh up to 68kg. It doesn't carry a money-back guarantee, so time-critical orders are better suited to FedEx International Priority®.

How Much Do Discounted FedEx Rates Cost From the Netherlands and United Kingdom?

Every rate shown on Easyship includes the fuel surcharge, so the price at checkout is the price you pay.

On the Netherlands to Belgium lane, FedEx® International Connect Plus is also available from approximately €13.96, depending on parcel details. 

What's Next for FedEx on Easyship in Europe?
