Announcing SoCalBio/FedEx Partnership to Offer SoCalBio Members Discounts on Shipping Services

Dear SoCalBio Member, 

I am pleased to announce that members of the Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio) can now receive significant discounts on FedEx shipping services as a benefit of SoCalBio membership. This savings program is the result of the partnership that SoCalBio has with the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the international trade association for the biotechnology industry. 

BIO negotiated special pricing with FedEx on behalf of members of BIO, SoCalBio, and other state and regional biotech associations nationwide to offer you special discounts on your shipping. 

The program offers any SoCalBio company the following discounts: 

  • Up to 33% off select FedEx Express U.S shipping

  • Up to 35% off select FedEx Express international shipping

  • Up to 23% off select FedEx Express Freight shipments of more than 150 pounds

  • Up to 15% off select FedEx Ground shipping 

(The discounts above on FedEx Express and FedEx Express international shipments include an additional 5% discount when you create shipping labels for eligible shipments on fedex.com or with another approved FedEx electronic shipping solution.) 

Here are the program's actual savings
