What is a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter?
FedEx Authorized ShipCenter locations allow you to enjoy the convenience of shipping via FedEx and the confidence of knowing professionals are handling your shipments. Compass Printing Plus can weigh, measure, and label your package for shipping via FedEx Express or FedEx Ground. We can also accept pre-labeled packages – such as product returns.

Authorized ShipCenters DO NOT have any connection to the delivery of packages to your home or business or authority over local FedEx drivers. If you are expecting a package and have a question, you can track your package at fedex.com or call 1-800-GOFEDEX and ask for a representative who can help.
Authorized ShipCenters are NOT allowed to ship alcohol, firearms, hazardous or dangerous goods.
