does fedex deliver cars

[AnthonyLee]

No, FedEx does not deliver complete, assembled cars. Their core business is focused on parcel delivery and freight shipping for packages and palletized goods, not entire vehicles. If you're buying a car online, the seller will use a specialized auto transport company, not a standard courier like FedEx or UPS.

However, FedEx plays a crucial role in the automotive world by delivering everything needed to build, maintain, and sell cars. FedEx Freight handles large, heavy items like engines, transmissions, and crated parts for manufacturers and repair shops. For individuals, FedEx Ground or Home Delivery is perfect for shipping aftermarket parts like performance exhausts, body kits, or smaller components such as alternators and brake rotors. They also transport essential paperwork, including titles and lien releases, often via FedEx Express for guaranteed, tracked delivery.

When deciding how to ship a car part, the key factors are size, weight, and value. Here’s a quick comparison of FedEx services relevant to automotive shipments:

Service	Best For Automotive Use	Maximum Weight	Key Consideration
FedEx Ground	Everyday parts (filters, sensors, fluids)	150 lbs	Cost-effective for less urgent needs
FedEx Home Delivery	Aftermarket parts for DIY enthusiasts	150 lbs	Includes Saturday residential delivery
FedEx Express	Urgent repair parts, critical documents	No practical limit for freight	Speed and guaranteed delivery times
FedEx Freight	Engines, pallets of parts, large body panels	Varies by freight class	For commercial, business-to-business shipping

For shipping a complete vehicle, you must contact a dedicated auto transport service. They provide open or enclosed carriers, handle the logistics of cross-country trips, and offer insurance specifically for vehicles, which standard couriers do not.

Nope, they ship parts, not the whole car. I learned this the hard way when I tried to send an old Miata engine to my cousin. FedEx Freight got the heavy crate there in two days, which was awesome. But for an actual car, you need those big multi-level trailers you see on the highway. I used a online broker to find a transporter for the car itself.

Think of FedEx as the supplier for the automotive ecosystem. They deliver components to assembly plants, emergency parts to dealerships for repairs, and aftermarket wheels to your door. Their network is built for boxes and pallets. Moving a 3,000-pound asset like a car requires specialized equipment, licensing, and insurance that parcel carriers simply don't have. The business models are entirely different.

From a parts reseller's perspective, FedEx is our lifeline. We ship everything from small spark plugs to bulky body kits daily. But if a customer asks if we can ship the entire car they just bought from us, the answer is a firm no. We immediately refer them to reliable, insured auto transport companies we've worked with before. It's a different service altogether.
