If a package weighs 160 pounds, which FedEx service is appropriate?

• A. Express Parcel
• B. Express Freight
• C. Express Saver
• D. Ground

Answer: (B)

Heavy items between 100 and several thousand pounds are handled by freight services rather than standard parcel options. For a package weighing 160 pounds, the weight is above what typical parcel services allow, so they aren’t suitable. Among the options, Express Freight is the service designed for heavier shipments, delivering by air as freight with the appropriate handling for bulky or palletized items. It provides faster transit times than ground freight and is built to accommodate items that can’t be shipped as a regular parcel. The other choices—express parcel, express saver, and ground—have weight limits around 150 pounds per piece, so they don’t fit a 160-pound shipment.
