A few questions. I'm waiting for my rep to call me back. :)

Here you go ;) This is who the majority of people use:

Fedex does not care which one you use.......as long as it passes the testing process you are good. Use the box that best suits what you are shipping ;)

5. Contact FedEx Packaging Design and Development Services at 1-800-633-7019 and get the account number that will pay for the test package shipping. You do not have to pay to have the test package shipped, so this call can save you some money.

I went to do this step and the woman I talked to had no idea what I was talking about... Do you think they will know when I drop the box off at the Fed Ex location?

What exactly did you ask them? I have never had a problem. I call say I am sending a package for testing and they give me the account number....

...people at the Fed Ex location sometimes have no clue.

Well... I dialed the number and pressed 4 to speak to customer service and the woman had no idea what I was talking about. So I thought maybe they would at the location... but the woman there was just as clueless and told me to go to one of the Kinko locations. Instead, I got back in my car and called up the number again, but this time I pressed 5, acting like I was checking on the status of a test, and the guy there gave me the account number. So it's all sent out and I can just wait for results. :)

Glad to hear you got it squared away. Sometimes with Fedex (or any shipping company) it is just gettting the right person on the phone ;)

Yeah... I knew I wasn't going the route I probably technically should have... but I found someone who would know what I was talking about... :P

does it cost anything to just sign up for an account online?

nope! Rapture are you getting certified or your parents?
