FedEx Shipping Services
Based on member input, IHA has partnered with FedEx Services to develop a program aimed at increasing overall efficiencies and lowering shipping costs. Discounts are available for FedEx’s most heavily used services, with participating IHA members saving an average of $1,401 per year in net shipping charges! Momentum for the program continues to build as members learn more about the various cost-saving benefits.
“We are pleased to report that our partnership with FedEx is paying great dividends for many of our members,” said Phil Brandl, IHA president. “As many members continue to join in on the savings, we are reaching out to hundreds more who are not yet taking advantage of this money-saving opportunity.”
The IHA/FedEx program is available to all members free of charge with no minimum shipping requirement. Discounts are significant for most companies dependent on commercial carriers for delivery services. Compare your current delivery charges and consider the advantages in joining the IHA/FedEx group-buy program.
Member discounts include:
- Up to 25% on FedEx Ground with delivery in 1-5 business days in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico
- Up to 24% on FedEx Express Priority Overnight (US delivery)
- Up to 13% on FedEx Express International serving 200 countries and delivery up to 150 pounds
- Up to 10% on FedEx Home Delivery
Participant Testimonials:
"The IHA FedEx ground program was simple
to set up and the discounts were
substantially better than other discount
programs we explored. It is definitely
worth having your transportation department
review."
Audrey Siegel, President, Siege Chemical/Windsor

“I love it. Since I started with (FedEx)
I dropped another carrier I had been using
for six or seven years. Not just because of the
discount,
which is always a consideration, but for
their service and the way they handle the packages.
There are far
fewer complaints about damages and the time
it takes for delivery. What encouraged me to look
into the
program was an email a few months ago that
mentioned ground services and that’s 90 percent
of my shipping business. I give them an A-plus.”
-John
Khoei, General Manager, Maxim-All Corp,

“They come to us and we don’t even
load their truck…you can’t complain about
that. We had been using FedEx Ground previously
and have been happy with the service. The additional
discount through the IHA program is a no brainer.”
-Greg
Bittner, Kavalier Glassworks, Elk Grove Village,
