Express Saver deserves the first look
FedEx's three-day tier beat its own two-day tier on price for the same box in our capture while quoting an identical window on this lane. Cheaper and nominally slower sometimes means simply cheaper.
Scarce but real
FedEx 2Day shipping cost, built on the one row we captured
Our data policy forces an unusual page here. Across all production quotes on 2026-07-27, FedEx 2Day priced out exactly once: $23.73, for a flat box of curtain panels from Newark to Atlanta. We ran two fresh probe quotes the same day hoping for more rows and got none. So this page treats that single figure with care, surrounds it with the two-day alternatives that priced generously, and refuses to pad the table.

When a dataset says almost nothing
One row is thin evidence, and we say so. What the row does prove: 2Day exists in our mix and where it priced when it appeared.
The captured 2Day row and its immediate company
The quote that produced it was ordinary: curtain panels in a flat 1.8 lb box, Newark, NJ 07102 to Atlanta, GA 30303, 2026-07-27. FedEx dominated that particular rate list, which is the only reason a 2Day row became visible at all.
| Service | Shipment | Route | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| FedEx 2Day | Flat box of curtains | Newark to Atlanta | $23.73 |
| FedEx Express Saver | Flat box of curtains | Newark to Atlanta | $20.07 |
| FedEx Express Saver | Poster tube | Newark to Atlanta | $19.09 |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | 1 lb box | Newark to Atlanta | $16.58 |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | 1 lb box | Los Angeles to New York | $19.16 |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | 5 lb box | Florida to New York corridor | $23.99 |
All rows above carried 2-3 business day quoted windows. Within that shared window, UPS 2nd Day Air repeatedly priced below the FedEx express tiers on our lanes; the head-to-head detail is in the UPS 2nd Day Air rates guide. Note also the oddity inside FedEx's own lineup, where Express Saver undercut 2Day for the identical box while quoting the same window on this lane.
Why 2Day rows are rare in our tables
Our checkout returns the most competitive handful of services per request. For typical parcels, ground tiers and UPS air rows filled those slots before FedEx 2Day could, so the service kept losing the auction for a visible line. The two probe quotes we ran on 2026-07-27 specifically hunting for 2Day rows both came back without one, and we would rather report that than quietly recycle a stale number. For a two-day FedEx price you can always see in advance, the One Rate route exists: a small box covering the 2Day tier starts at $19.55 in FedEx packaging, per fedex.com, checked 2026-07-27.
A single data point is a hint, not a rate card
We flag sample sizes because prices shift with box, lane, and day. Use the $23.73 row as a landmark for scale, then get a live figure for your actual shipment.
Shop the window, not the brand
Every row in our table promised the same 2-3 day span. When windows tie, the decision collapses to price and pickup logistics, which is a much easier decision.
FedEx 2Day, on the record
How much does FedEx 2Day cost?
The one row our production checkout returned on 2026-07-27 priced it at $23.73 for a flat 1.8 lb box of curtains from Newark to Atlanta, with a 2-3 business day window. That is a single captured data point, useful for scale rather than as a rate card.
Why does this page show only one FedEx 2Day price?
Because only one appeared, and we publish nothing we didn't capture. Our checkout surfaces the most competitive services per quote, and 2Day kept getting outpriced off the list. Two dedicated probe quotes on 2026-07-27 failed to surface another row, which we disclose rather than hide.
What did comparable two-day services cost?
From the same day's data: UPS 2nd Day Air at $16.58 for 1 lb eastbound, $19.16 westbound, and $23.99 for a 5 lb Florida-to-New-York box, plus FedEx Express Saver at $19.09 and $20.07 quoting the same 2-3 day windows on our lanes.
Can I get a fixed FedEx two-day price in advance?
Yes, through One Rate in FedEx packaging: the small box covering the 2Day tier starts at $19.55, per fedex.com, checked 2026-07-27. Flat pricing trades a little cheapness for a number you can plan around before packing.
