FedEx Shipping with RevolutionParts

Overview

You can now access the most competitive FedEx shipping rates through the RevolutionParts Platform. 

Please note: To take advantage of this feature, you must have a valid payment method on file and automatic billing enabled (learn how here). 

Getting Started

Once you have a valid payment method on file and automatic billing enabled, follow these steps to use the RevolutionParts UPS feature:

1. Log into your account at manage.revolutionparts.com.
2. Click “Orders” on the top navigation bar.
   
   
   
3. Select the order you wish to create a shipping label for.
   
   
   
   
4. Click the “Complete Order” button in the upper right corner
   
   
   
5. When prompted “How do you want to fulfill this order?” > select “Shipping Label”
   
   
   
   If you would like to add shipping insurance, you may do so. You may also save your custom box or add an additional one.
   
   
6. Input your package dimensions.
   
   
   
7. Scroll down the page to see your shipping label quotes. You will notice that you have multiple FedEx options, especially if you have a pre-existing FedEx integration. Rates provided by RevolutionParts will be labeled as “RP FedEx”. If your account is connected with additional shipping carriers (e.g. FedEx, USPS) you may see those listed as well.
   
   To update which FedEx rates are displayed in Order Fulfillment visit Settings > Shipping > Carriers. To remove RP FedEx from your options, simply click the toggle to the right of the RP FedEx line.

8. Once you select your shipping method, click “Ship & Complete.”
   
   
   
   This will complete your order and allow you to print your shipping label directly from the RP Platform. If you return to the order page, you can access the new label at anytime by clicking the "Print Label" button on the right of the Shipment itself.
   
   You will also receive a tracking number. We recommend sharing this with your customer so they can track their package. By default, the "Notify the customer of shipment" option will be selected which will send the tracking number to your customer within the pre-formatted "Order Items Shipped" email template. This template can be edited any time by navigating to Settings and clicking "Templates."
   
   
   
9. Voilà! Once you’re printed the label and sent the tracking information to your customer, all you have to do is box up the item(s) and ship the package.
   
   You will now be billed directly through RevolutionParts for using our FedEx labels. To simplify your accounting, we will share these charges on your variable invoice with a shipping label reconciliation report.

FAQ

Q: How do I turn off my old FedEx account so I no longer see those rates on the fulfillment page?

The rates displayed on the fulfillment page are controlled on the Carriers page in admin. You can navigate to that page and turn off your old FedEx connection.

Q: What impact will this have on billing?

All the FedEx labels you purchase through RP will be charged to your RevolutionParts account. When the total variable charges on your account exceed your account’s billing threshold, then you will receive a variable invoice from RevolutionParts.

When you receive an invoice with FedEx shipping label fees, you will find a link to the Shipping Label Reconciliation report that’s associated with the charge. You can use this to review your purchases and refunds from the billing period.
