FedEx Ground expanding Home Delivery Service
FedEx Ground, a subsidiary of FedEx Corporation, is set to open 63 additional FedEx Home Delivery terminals throughout the United States to expand the service’s geographic reach to 80 percent of the U.S. population. (9/26/2001)
FedEx Ground will co-locate 56 of the new FedEx Home Delivery terminals with existing FedEx Ground facilities to optimize its network.
“Shippers and their customers continue to respond enthusiastically to the service and we are expanding the network to achieve full U.S. coverage, more than one year ahead of schedule,” said Daniel J. Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Ground. “We are committed to rolling out FedEx Home Delivery at an accelerated rate and are pleased to extend the service to more residential consumers across the country.”
“More and more shippers are finding they can improve their own brand image by adding value to their customers’ delivery experience at a competitive price,” said T. Michael Glenn, president and chief executive officer for FedEx Services. “Since its inception, FedEx Home Delivery volumes have steadily grown and we expect them to continue to grow significantly over the next year as a result of the service’s ability to serve a larger segment of the market with its unmatched features and superior service.”
The FedEx Home Delivery expansion is well timed to help catalog and online retailers serve consumers this holiday season. More than 8,000 shippers, including retailers such as U.S. Toys and Harry & David, have benefited from the service’s cost-effective, customer-friendly residential shipping options and unmatched Money-Back Guarantee. With this expansion, FedEx Home Delivery shippers can extend that level of service, flexibility and value to more of their residential consumers.
