Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG®) service is an expedited delivery service for both documents and non–documents (i.e., merchandise items) that is the product of a business alliance between the Postal Service™ and FedEx® Corporation. It provides senders with reliable, high–speed, time–definite service from designated U.S. ZIP™ Code areas to principal locations in more than 190 countries worldwide. Service is guaranteed to meet destination–specific delivery standards or the requisite postage will be refunded.
GXG shipments are insured against loss or damage to most network destinations, up to a value of $100, at no additional charge. Optional document reconstruction insurance or optional insurance coverage for non-documents is also available to most network countries up to a maximum of $2,499 or a lesser amount if limited by country, content, or value — see individual country listings in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®). The fee for optional GXG insurance coverage is $1.00 for each $100 or fraction thereof. The maximum weight limit for GXG shipments is 70 pounds, but some destinations have a lower maximum weight limit. Mailers are required to certify that the shipment does not contain any restricted or dangerous goods prohibited by the destination country or postal regulations. In addition, the mailer must certify that the GXG shipment does not require the filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI), formerly called Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED). See IMM 210 for additional details, or consult your local Post Office™.
Customers who pay for GXG postage online through Click-N-Ship or through an authorized PC Postage vendor will pay 10 percent less than retail postage prices.
