Actually, if you think to ask FedEx's Testing facility for their shipping account number, they will pick up the tab for shipping those boxes to them. They will also return the boxes if you request that they do so. So there really is no expense to this part of it at all.

I meant the cost of the box. Seems only morons like me paid the shipping to the test facility :(

Count me as another Moron, Dan. :)

Yeah. Here is another one.

Okay~ Ive got my account #, and I've got my boxes (Thanks Dan and Wendy!) and I've got the account # to send the box on thier dime~

So~ on to the first 2 stupid questions~

1. What do I do with it once I box it up? Do I take it to one of those mailbox places? I have no clue where a "Hub" is, or how to find one.

2. Labels? I never did figure out how to order labels, and I'm not real sure what they are for. Do I need a label? Is it the sticker the address is usually printed on? Can I just ask for a label and fill it out wherever I ship from?

Thanks!

You can pick up a label when you drop the box off.

Thanks Dan,
I just finished packing the boxes up. I took pics of every step, so that when I'm done maybe I can help answer the stupid questions instead of just ask them!

This might be helpful to others that are working on the learning curve.

If you've never really shipped anything before, you might make the mistake of thinking anything called a "Hub" would actually be IN a building. Or, at the very least, something with employees would.....right?

Well, apparently not. After spending an hour driving in circles looking for #70 W Grand Blvd (Which, by the way goes in a complete circle, so the numbers make NO sence) I finally discovered that #70 was in infact a slightly revamped Photo Hut (they slapped a large Fed-Ex sticker on top of the Photo Hut sign) in the middle of the parking lot for a run down strip mall~ and it was hidden BEHIND two pretty large trees.

So~ those of you that have never shipped before~ you may not be looking for something like a mailbox store that only does Fed-Ex~ you may be looking for a Photo hut~ or a large tree.

I'm having a heck of a time getting my acct rep to get back to me....anyone else dealing with Alan Elam having this problem??

Had this issue. Called their 800 number and spoke to a customer service rep. Explained I was very frustrated with the local rep. She gave me the rep's supervisor's number and email. Left a message and shot over an email. BAMM!! Rep was on the phone to me at 8 am the next day.
