Congrats! Yes. Sign up for a FedEx account on FedEx.com and then you can create a shipment and include a return label, which is what you need. You cannot do this at a FedEx store, so you must do it online.To join in the PPR rain for today I also received my Ready for Visa email today. I was not expecting it to arrive quite this early so today will be spent getting photos arranged and setting up the prepaid return envelope. From what I've read the best service for US residents is FedEx, right?
I made my photocopies of the passports at the FedEx store, bought a larger and smaller envelope (since I needed to include a return envelope), and they put the little plastic pockets on there that held the label and customs. Make sure to select the "print customs declarations" stuff when going through the FedEx shipment/return online. It's pretty involved since you have to select codes for Immigration Documents, etc.
If you use the "express" shipment thing, it'll only show air as an option which is overnight and $88-ish for me. International Ground was about $23 each way, so I went with that. You have to use the regular shipment interface to get that, not the express one.
