FedEx Delivers for Mother's Day
With Mother’s day just days away, FedEx has ramped up operations to support one of its busiest times of the year. Millions of flowers and gifts will pass through its hubs as FedEx is ready to brighten the day for mothers across the nation and around the world.
FedEx Express expects to see the largest delivery volume of flowers, plants and gifts for moms on Friday, May 9. On May 9, FedEx Express couriers will make 20 times more domestic flower deliveries than on an average day. Hundreds of thousands of flower deliveries have traveled through major FedEx hubs and gateways in Memphis, Miami, Indianapolis and Oakland between Tuesday, May 6 and Friday, May 9 on their way to be delivered in time for Mother’s Day.
FedEx Ground expects to see the largest delivery volumne of flowers, plans and Mother’s Day gifts on Saturday, May 10. FedEx Ground and Home Delivery will deliver more than 150,000 bouquets of flowers on May 10 alone.
For those procrastinators, FedEx will be making deliveries through Saturday, May 10 in time for Mother’s Day. Many e-commerce flower and gift retailers have located warehouses close to the FedEx Express Super Hub in Memphis, TN, allowing them to take last-minute orders up until Friday, May 9 and still have them delivered before Mother’s Day.
