SKULabs supports rates and labels for FedEx Ground Economy (formerly FedEx SmartPost) for shipments within the US. You can use it on a direct FedEx carrier account (FedEx V2) or through EasyPost.
To get started, first verify with your FedEx Account Manager that your FedEx account is enabled for Ground Economy (SmartPost), and ask which SmartPost hub serves your shipping location.
Option 1: Direct FedEx account (FedEx V2)
Open your carrier accounts in shipping settings and edit your FedEx carrier account.
In SmartPost hub, select your hub.
Save the carrier account.
When a hub is selected, SKULabs requests Ground Economy rates for US-to-US shipments in addition to your regular FedEx rates. Leave SmartPost hub blank if your account isn't enabled for Ground Economy.
Option 2: Through EasyPost
Gather the following information from FedEx:
FedEx SmartPost Account Number
FedEx SmartPost Hub ID
FedEx SmartPost Account Billing Address
Visit your EasyPost Carriers Account Page and search for the FedEx SmartPost carrier account.
In EasyPost, search for FedEx and choose FedEx SmartPost.
Enter your SmartPost account and billing information.
The FedEx SmartPost Account # and Hub ID fields in EasyPost.

Click Create, and FedEx SmartPost is now enabled on your EasyPost account.
