Re: FEDEX Shipping and Dryage Questions

No payment should be required to move the robot from the drayage warehouse where it is shipped to, then to the competition site and vice versa when the competition is done.

Unless you are shipping to back to back regionals, then you have to pay for warehouse movement and to use the MCS shipper because FedEx does NOT pick up on Saturdays.

Note: Each team must pay for any additional material-handling charges by the end of each competition

FedEx pays for shipping to one regional event, to the championship, and then back home. If you are not going to the Championship it will ship your robot home after your last regional, and if you are going to 2 plus regionals you need to figure out which one(s) you will be paying for and coordinate with MCS at the event.
