FedEx is an established carrier of fragile materials. They also do not charge extra fragile shipment fees, but they also advise that outer boxes provide the strength, and cushioning material should be used in the inner layers. 

Shipixy adheres to these instructions and prepares goods with professional packaging and then delivers them with FedEx. This combination provides your delicate items with the optimal protection, even during domestic or international transportation.

The time of delivery is determined by the carrier and selected service. Specific fragile shipments may take 1-2 days with express shipping methods or a few more days with ground shipping. We will assist you in choosing the right carrier to deliver your products on time and in good condition.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship Fragile Items?

The price of shipping the fragile item is based on the size, weight, and distance of the parcel. UPS and FedEx do not impose additional costs for fragile handling, whereas USPS imposes a small fee on its special handling service.
