5-star review for shipping software descartes shiprush

Beyond User-Friendly

“We use Descartes ShipRush at my work for shipping: FedEx, USPS, domestic, and international orders. It’s clear, easy to use, and probably my very non-tech Mom could even figure it out (Sorry, Mom!). It’s fantastic when you need a quick quote from multiple different shipping sources and rates.”

Frequently asked questions

1. How can I get discounted FedEx rates?

To get discounted FedEx rates, sign up for a FedEx Advantage program through a shipping solution like Descartes ShipRush. As a FedEx Connect partner, Descartes ShipRush gives users access to exclusive discounts on FedEx Express®, FedEx Ground®, and FedEx Home Delivery® services — with no volume minimums. Simply connect your FedEx account or enroll through the platform to start saving.

2. How do I open a FedEx business account?

To open a FedEx business account:

  1. Visit https://www.fedex.com/en-us/open-account.html
  2. Choose “Business Shipping,” select your monthly shipment volume, and click “Create an Account.”
  3. Complete the registration form with your business name, shipping address, and contact information.
  4. Once your account is created, you’ll receive a FedEx account number — this is required to connect your account to shipping platforms like Descartes ShipRush.

After setup, log in to your Descartes ShipRush account and link your FedEx account to begin printing labels. You can also compare FedEx rates alongside USPS and UPS, automate service selection, and add insurance through Total Shipping Protection.

It’s important to note that a FedEx Business Account is not the same as the FedEx Advantage discount program. For discounted shipping, apply here.

3. How do I add insurance to a FedEx shipment?

With Descartes ShipRush, you can add insurance to a FedEx shipment using Total Shipping Protection — a modern, cost-effective alternative to carrier-declared value coverage. It offers higher coverage limits and faster claims processing.

During label creation, simply enter an item value to enable insurance. Total Shipping Protection is fully integrated into the FedEx shipping workflow in Descartes ShipRush.
