Fax near me
Can you fax at FedEx Office?
Yes. FedEx Office is one of the few chains that still keeps self-service fax machines in the print area of most US locations, with staff nearby when the machine misbehaves. Not every branch has a working one, so check the location before you drive.

How the self-service machine works
- Take your pages to the fax machine in the print area — cover sheet first, single-sided.
- Follow the prompts on the machine: it asks for the destination number and shows the price before it dials.
- Pay at the machine by card, or take the slip to the counter, depending on the location.
- Wait for the confirmation to print. That slip is your proof of transmission — keep it.
Self-service means you are also your own troubleshooter: a busy line or a misfeed is yours to retry. The machine pre-authorises against the page count you enter and settles afterwards, so check the receipt when a transmission fails or half-succeeds — how the remainder is handled is the location's policy.
What it costs
Per page, with the first page dearest and long-distance and international priced above local. Around $2 for a local first page is the usual ballpark, with international several times that, but the rates are set per location and change — the machine shows the price before it sends, so read the screen.
Check before you go
- Call the specific store and ask whether the fax machine is working today.
- Ask whether it is self-service or staffed at that location, since it varies.
- Check the print-area hours, which can be shorter than the store hours.
- Ask whether they can receive a fax for you if you need a reply, and what it costs per page.
The alternative to the trip
If your document is already a file, you are paying for the drive and the per-page rate to do something a browser does: upload, type the number, send, keep the delivery result. FaxBolt is $4.99 for the first month, then $14.99/month with unlimited sending and receiving under fair use — worth it from roughly six to ten shop pages a month upward, or the moment you need replies.
The trip still wins when you have paper only, need it done once, and want to walk away with a printed confirmation in hand.
Frequently asked questions
Does FedEx Office still have fax machines?
Yes, at most US locations, usually self-service in the print area. Individual branches do go without a working machine, so confirm with the store first.
How much does faxing at FedEx Office cost?
Around $2 for a local first page, less for each page after, with long-distance and international higher. The machine displays the price for your destination before it sends.
Can I receive a fax at FedEx Office?
Some locations will receive on your behalf for a per-page fee and hold the pages for collection. Ask before you hand the number out.
Can I fax from a USB drive or email at FedEx Office?
The print machines read USB drives and email for printing; the fax step still needs paper pages fed through. In practice you print, then fax what you printed — which is two charges for one document.
Is FedEx Office open 24 hours for faxing?
A few locations are open around the clock, but the print area and its machines usually follow shorter hours. Check the specific store.
