1# The customer service, I would rather deal with SYR in case of an issue than Fedex itself (been there done that)
2# Prices because of their volume the discount is greater than the one a small breeder gets with their own Fedex account.
3# Ability to ship door to door which your contract with Fedex (if you are certified) does not allow you to do even though people who are certified do it, your certification only allow you to ship business to business in other word hub to hub.
4# Insurance coverage which is not offered by Fedex either however SYR offer great insurance coverage.
But like Anna said getting your certification is a good idea it will be good training and it's always a great backup to have just in case, I am also Fedex certified however I have been a SYR customer since the start.
Hope this helps.
And no I am not a SYR rep![]()
