Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)

Global Express GuaranteedŽ (GXGTM) is an expedited delivery service for both documents and non-documents (i.e., merchandise items) that is the product of a business alliance between the U.S. Postal ServiceŽ and FedEx Corporation. It provides senders with reliable, high-speed, time-definite service from designated U.S. ZIP CodeTM areas to principal locations in more than 190 countries worldwide. Service is guaranteed to meet destination- specific delivery standards or the requisite postage will be refunded.

For almost all network destinations, GXG shipments are insured against loss or damage, up to a value of $100.00, at no additional charge. Optional document reconstruction insurance, up to a maximum of $2,499.00, is available to almost all network countries. Optional insurance coverage for non-documents (merchandise) is available to almost all destination countries. In some instances, the prescribed indemnity limit is less than the $2,499.00 maximum. The fee for optional GXG insurance coverage is $0.70 for each $100.00 or fraction thereof. The maximum weight limit for GXG shipments is 70 pounds, but some destinations have a lower maximum weight limit. Consult your local Post Office facility for additional details.

Tables 1a and 1b contain the postage rates that are applicable to GXG document and non-document shipments.
