FedEX Discounts

One of the great advantages of being an HFSA member is the air freight savings we can offer your business. in July 1991, we negotiated a national discount agreement with FedEx, which gives our members very favorable shipping rates for their extremely perishable products. We are annually involved in maintaining the best rates we can, for exporting and importing of horticultural products.
