Information on how to create shipping labels, schedule pickups, track shipments, and order FedEx shipping supplies can be found on the FedEx website. Shipping supplies are complimentary and include such items as envelopes, paks, boxes and tubs, airbills or waybills (including pre-printed), pouches, and labels.

As a reminder, in accordance with the Office of the State Comptroller, Accounts Payable Advisory No. 47, all agencies are required to use Procurement Cards (P-Cards) to purchase goods and services less than $500 when a vendor accepts the P-Card for payment. FedEx will accept the P-Card for payment.
