Sending Freight or Non‑USPS Packages to FMC Fort Worth: Using the Warehouse Address

Use the warehouse address format whenever you're shipping freight or using a carrier other than USPS. The critical detail is how you set up the "attention" line: start with the staff member's name, then add "ATTN: WAREHOUSE." This tells both the carrier and the facility to route the shipment through warehouse receiving instead of regular mail handling.

On your shipping label, the warehouse routing goes at the top of the "ship to" or "consignee" section. Put the staff member's name where a recipient name would normally go. Right below that, add "ATTN: WAREHOUSE" as the attention field. If your carrier's label doesn't have a separate ATTN line, place it directly after the name.

• ✓ Put the staff member’s name first on the label (as the consignee/recipient).
• ✓ Include the attention line exactly as: “ATTN: WAREHOUSE.”
• ✓ Fill in any carrier-required fields the shipper’s system asks for (for example, an “attention” field or other required consignee details), keeping the staff name + “ATTN: WAREHOUSE” format intact.

1. Call the facility before you ship - Ask FMC Fort Worth to confirm the current warehouse addressing details for freight/non‑USPS parcels.
2. Confirm the exact consignee name - Make sure you have the correct staff member name to place before “ATTN: WAREHOUSE,” and verify spelling.
3. Ask about carrier restrictions and receiving requirements - Get clarity on anything your carrier may need (appointment requirements, paperwork, how deliveries are accepted, and any special receiving procedures).
4. Double-check any delivery instructions for the driver - If there are gate instructions or other receiving directions the facility wants included, get them in writing from your shipper notes and add them the way your carrier supports.

The fastest way to cause a delay? Using the inmate mailing format for a freight or non-USPS delivery. FMC Fort Worth expects warehouse shipments to show the staff name first, followed by "ATTN: WAREHOUSE." Skip that attention line or format the consignee like regular mail, and your carrier may show up with a label the facility can't route properly.

• ✓ Confirm the staff/consignee name is correct and spelled exactly right.
• ✓ Include “ATTN: WAREHOUSE” exactly as written.
• ✓ Review the label preview for carrier-required fields so nothing important gets dropped at print time.
• ✓ Don’t put money in the shipment or address money to FMC Fort Worth - mail-in funds must go to the Des Moines, Iowa processing center.
