FedEx Services to England

FedEx offers two main parcel shipping services from Canada to England as shown below:

• FedEx International Priority: A quick delivery of 1 to 3 business days
• FedEx International Economy: A cost-effective option promising delivery from 4 to 6 business days

Please note that these are general estimates and will be affected by the specific locations in Canada and England. As Canada has a vast landmass, someone wishing to ship from its far north, for example, should expect to add a day or two to parcel travel times, and of course with that higher shipping fees.

How Big and Heavy is the Parcel?

No one is surprised that a heavier parcel costs more to deliver than a lighter one; and often, heavier shipments require larger boxes, which also could lead to higher shipping costs, and the reason for that is the shipment’s billable weight.

Billable weight

Billable weight is a calculated value. And without getting into the calculations, it means that two shipments with the same weight but in different sized boxes, could result in a higher shipping fee for the larger box. Think about it as though you were to ship one kilogram of feathers and compare it to the price to ship a one kilogram brick.

Oversize parcels

Carriers assess an oversize fee if a container is heavier or larger than a prescribed value. For FedEx and UPS, that applies to shipments greater than 68 kg in weight; and UPS also specifies that if the container is longer than 2.74 m, it is deemed oversized. The consequence in either case is that UPS will impose a fee of $1,100 CAD on that shipment, which during peak shipping periods (Christmastime) could increase to $1,550 CAD.

Conclusion

FedEx’s charge for a shipment from Canada to England is not a fixed value. It varies based on which service you select, i.e. how soon you wish the parcel to arrive; the size and weight of the parcel – which is determined in part by its billable weight, and if it exceeds certain limits (68 kg or 2.74 m), an oversize fee will apply; as well, during peak shipping seasons, for example, Christmastime, rates also rise.
