A One-Stop Solution for Your FedEx Shipping Needs
FedEx Ship Manager has all of the features one would expect from a shipping tool (price estimation, label creation/printing, tracking) all in one convenient piece of software. What's more it even includes useful reporting options. Custom shipping profiles are also possible--which is very useful for those shipping multiple packages to the same location. FedEx Ship Manager is easy to use with an intuitive interface. It has proven to be a useful tool for me as I ship out waves of packages to purchasers. It makes things easy and really speeds up the process with its workflow optimizations. Before FedEx Ship Manager, it could take me an hour to prepare a half-dozen packages, now that time has been cut in half thanks to the software. The tracking reports allow me to follow-up quickly with any customer questions and make sure packages are getting where they need to go.
CONSOverall, there is little to complain about when it comes to FedEx Ship Manager. It does everything I need when I want to ship FedEx packages to customers. It has all of the features I need in terms of labeling, tracking, and price estimation and is easy to use. Sometimes the tracking information is less detailed than I would like. However, that is more an issue with the FedEx logistics system than the software itself.

Easy to Use & Gets the Job Done
Overall I am dry to and when I need to use FedEx I will be using it.
PROSThe thing I liked most was how easy it was to compile all of the orders that needed to be shipped out and then print the labels in an orderly way that wasn’t overly complicated or hard to do. It kept the process quick.
CONSI would say the thing I liked least was how I can’t check prices for competitors which I understand but it can be frustrating having to go between different sites and compare.
Reason for choosing FedEx Ship Manager
I only use FedEx ship manager when I need to use FedEx because I feel like using the company directly just makes sense but I do use pirate ship when it comes to other shipping companies.

FedEx Is Efficient For Sender, Not So Much For Recipient
Reliable for shipper, very unreliable for sending a surprise gift. Delivery drivers do not appropriately utilize necessary adequate resources to enter large apartment or condominium buildings. Lost packages and poor, difficult to reach live customer service agents.
PROSFedEx software is within the online portal. It offers ease of use to pay for shipping of goods ranging anywhere from legal documents, requiring paid signatures to be witnessed upon delivery by the driver, to delivery of merchandise such as refrigerators, televisions, DVD players, or perishables and clothings. Price of shipments are usually determined by weight, and whether you choose to insure your product in case of it being lost or damaged during transit, whether you want a signature of recipient, and how quickly you prefer the shipment. The FedEx Ship Manager permits users to gain tracking numbers and send world wide with relative ease. One can also use it for purchase of office supplies.
CONSAs one having been on the receiving end of FedEx, they do not offer a way for a recipient to locate a live human Customer Service Employee very easily if there is an issue with a shipping, tracking or Door Tag Number. Delivery drivers have proven to be unreliable careless about doortag numbers being placed carelessly on the building without utilizing callbox for entry and delivery. If you contact FedEx without a DoorTag. Number and finally discover how to speak to a human employee, they offer absolutely no way of locating your goods or parcel as the recipient, for example, if your received a surprise gift from FedEx on your birthday, as was my situation, or perhaps a court summons. The tracking label door tag which the Delivery Driver creates after attempting to deliver to find that recipient is not home, is small and flimsy. I lost mine and therefore lost an unknown gift.

FedEx Ship Manager Does What We Need It To Do
Overall we have been using it for some time with success, good customer support when needed and though we of course always like to lower costs, the costs have not been horrible.
PROSWe are able to create custom code in the back end via VBA in order to better integrate some functionality
CONSSometimes the software and the setup of it can be a little convoluted.
Reason for choosing FedEx Ship Manager
We didnt really, we are still considering using a shipper shopping platform to lower costs.
Reasons for switching to FedEx Ship Manager
Well, we still do use UPS in some instances, but mostly we are using FedEx Ship Manager right now.

FedEx Shipmanager is easy for standard shipping needs
I like the reliability of FedEx Shipmanager to do my daily shipments.
CONSThere is functionality to print labels from a spreadsheet of addresses. This is more complicated than it should be. It took us months to feel comforatable.

FedEx Ship Manager works fine for low volume shippers
I used to use FedEx Ship Manager to print my occasional FedEx labels until I found an integrated solution that allows me to compare rates among carriers and import orders automatically.
PROSFedEx Ship Manager is a fairly easy solution to print FedEx Ground and Express labels one at a time assuming you don't need to compare rates with other carriers.
CONSFedEx Ship Manager is not really suited for users who need to print more than a handful labels per day as it doesn't have enough shortcut features to print labels in volume efficiently. Also, printing international labels can be complicated and FedEx live support in this area is inadequate.
Reason for choosing FedEx Ship Manager
I actually abandoned FedEx Ship Manager in favor of ShippingEasy

Great way to keep track of your shipments!
I love that when I have something coming to me via FedEx, I get notifications even if I don't know about the shipment or where it's coming from. Very helpful in monitoring packages being delivered if I'm not at home.
CONSIt would be nice if I could get notifications about any package delivered to my address whether it's addressed to me or someone else.

PROSIt is a very basic & lightweight tool, it is very easy to use & is geared towards volume VS UPS who is geared towards old granny's that need everything oversimplified.
CONSVery little to dislike except the fact that it has the occasional bug or glitch.

FedEX Ship Manager
Overall, this is a great tool and makes life a lot easier.
PROSThis is a great tool for organizing billing and making sure shipments are billed to the correct client. I like have preset profiles.
CONSIf you make a mistake and need to edit your shipment, it is a little clunky to make revisions. It is hard to get back into previous shipments.

Ship manager usually works, but it is very slow and cumbersom to use
We finally solved all our ship manager issues by doing several things.. 1) we stopped daily pickups (weekly pickup charges are extremely expensive) 2) We started using XPS Ship for all shipments, this way we can easily compare USPS, Fedex and UPS all at the same time, and use the one that fits each shipment the best. Everything from 1 software on one screen and it works directly with Ebay, Amazon, Shopify, Walmart and we can ship with Fedex, USPS and UPS, all from 1 place
PROSOnce you get used to basic screens they are easy to use for everyday ground shipments.
CONSSoftware does not have anyway to visibly integrate with with other software programs such as Quickbooks, Amazon, Shopify, etc, so each order must be manually entered, and then tracking info and shipping cost must be manually copied back to each order on the other systems. You cannot easily change the address of an existing customer on the fly, the system assumes anything changed is a new customer, so you get multiple copies of the same customer in your address book.
Reason for choosing FedEx Ship Manager
Originally we switched to Fedex for the better rates, but they have now gotten out of hand and there is little benefit to the high rates we are charged.

Fantastic and terrible at the same time.
When it works correctly, FedEx Ship Manager is great for tracking inbound packages and outbound packages as well. That's mostly what we use it for. Sometimes we use it for return label generation as well.
CONSI always have these "access denied" and 404 errors when using the site. I can't find a way to fix these errors other than opening up FedEx Ship Manager on another browser that isn't chrome.
Reason for choosing FedEx Ship Manager
I use Shipstation and FedEx Ship Manager in conjuntion with each other. FedEx Ship Manager can do a few things that ShipStation cannot do.

FedEx Ship Manager
This software has more benefits than other vendor shipping software I've used previously. It's our first choice when shipping goods.
PROSBeing able to ship, store clients info for future use and print label all from my desk makes this program a huge plus for our business.
CONSNot easy to access old shipping charges after 6 months. Calling into support you will get passed around from department to department. It's rare to get to a real person, sometimes resulting in our staff having to use USPS instead.

Printing postage from your office!
So far so good...somewhat easy to use, cost effective, time effective, and allows you more time as you dont have to go to a FedEx location to ship!
PROSFor anybody that has a need to ship products via FedEx this is one of the easiest ways to accomplish postage right from your office. You can even schedule pickups in print off postage directly from your computer.
CONSThe only problem with this is you have to ship with FedEx obviously! While UPS and USPS are both competitive with pricing and options it will limit your choices using only fedex ship manager.
