ShipHero has removed the guesswork between FedEx Home and FedEx Ground by choosing the correct method using their FedEx Address Lookup. Users will see one unified service in ShipHero called FedEx Ground Services, which automatically selects the appropriate carrier based on the destination address. This automation saves time, reduces errors, and helps you avoid unexpected surcharges.
