What is the required type of packaging and the maximum length when shipping a package in the FedEx Ground network?

• A. customer's own packaging with max length of 108 inches
• B. FedEx-branded packaging with max length of 108 inches
• C. Customer's own packaging with max length of 138 inches
• D. Any packaging with max length of 108 inches

Answer: (A)

For FedEx Ground, the required packaging is the customer-supplied packaging, and the maximum length per piece is 108 inches. This length limit helps ensure the package can be handled with the standard equipment and processes used on the Ground network. The option proposing a longer length (138 inches) goes beyond what Ground permits, and the option suggesting FedEx-branded packaging or “any packaging” contradicts the guideline given for this scenario.
