Parcel Shipping Guidelines and How-To Instructions

May 14, 2015

Vendors:

Due to the increasing volume of parcel shipments we have revamped our parcel shipment processes and will be directing all parcel shipment creation to fedex.com/us.

As a valued business partner we appreciate your help in making this transition a success. Please note that our current shipping parameters still apply and can be found on page 14 of our SMART Guide for Domestic Vendors located at vendor.academy.com.

Effective May 14th, 2015 the Build a Parcel Shipment link will direct you to the fedex.com/us login screen. Please note that a FedEx login and account number is needed to create a shipment on fedex.com. Training guides for Generating a FedEx Account Number and login as well as instructions for creating a Domestic Shipment on fedex.com can be found under the Domestic Vendors menu.

We thank you in advance for your partnership and encourage you to contact the Domestic Logistics team at domestic.logistics@academy.com with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Domestic Logistics
