FedEx Fax vs Online Fax | Which Is Faster and Cheaper? | SecurelyFax

FedEx Office promotes self-service faxing at many locations, with printed confirmations and per-page pricing that varies by store. The upside is that it is a recognizable place to walk in, the machine is there, and you leave with a receipt. The downsides are that you have to travel during store hours, pricing is per page and not always known until you are there, and it is not practical for after-hours or repeat sends.

Online fax sends from your email, a browser upload, or a phone scan, at any hour, with a saved digital confirmation. The upside is availability, device flexibility, and predictable pricing. The downside is that you need an internet connection and you are sending without a counter clerk to hand the pages to, which some people prefer for one-off sends.

Choose FedEx Office if you are already near one, want help at a counter, and only need to send once. Choose online fax if you have no phone line, need to send tonight or this weekend, want to send from your phone or laptop, or expect to fax more than once. Many people start by searching for a store and then switch to online once they realize they can finish from home.
