FedEx to expand International Economy service
FedEx Express announced the expansion of its customer portfolio of services with the launch of FedEx International Economy service in 10 Asia-Pacific markets, with another introduction scheduled this March for three more Asian markets -the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam.
FedEx International Economy is an economical, day-definite, customs-cleared, door-to-door service that features a transit time typically one to two days longer than premium FedEx International Priority service, which is designed for more time-sensitive shipments.
The new service effectively addresses the needs of customers who look for reliability and cost efficiency as a top priority in shipping.
FedEx International Economy is specially designed for customers with less urgent shipments of individual packages under 68 kilograms, but who require the reliability they have come to expect with FedEx.
No weight restrictions apply for multi-piece shipments.
Offered on competitive list rates and backed by a money-back guarantee, FedEx International Economy typically delivers intra-Asia packages in two business days, and shipments to the U.S. and major markets in Europe typically in three to four business days.
As with the FedEx International Priority service, customers can use fedex.com for online tracking with proactive e-mail notification in 15 languages.

We believe there is a clear demand for a service that lies between our premium International Priority express service and the regular postal service, said David L. Cunningham Jr., president, FedEx Express AsiaPacific.
He added our International Economy service meets that need for customers, and at the same time broadens the portfolio of shipping options services that FedEx offers.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are among those that will benefit from FedEx International Economy service, as they require express solutions that are both cost-efficient and reliable.
The Asia Pacific has the largest concentration of SMEs worldwide. With FedEx International Economy service, these SMEs can now enjoy the convenience of door-to-door pick-up and delivery, including customs clearance at an economical price.
FedEx Express is the world’s largest express transportation company, providing fast and reliable delivery to more than 220 countries and territories.
