FedEx hits milestone in Walgreens roll-out
FedEx has reported that its package pickup and drop-off services are now available at more than 7,500 Walgreens drugstores in all 50 US states.
The milestone comes 10 months after the companies announced a long-term alliance agreement.
In a statement issued yesterday (6 November), Raj Subramaniam, executive vice president, chief marketing and communications officer, FedEx, said: “We are thrilled to have reached this significant milestone for our customers ahead of the holiday season, and we look forward to continuing to work with Walgreens to offer convenient and secure pickup and drop-off services around the country.”
Richard Ashworth, Walgreens president of operations, said: “Our offering with FedEx is another way customers will find our stores even more accessible to meet their needs. It helps our customers by providing a safe and secure delivery option, while making it easy for them to ship returns and other packages through the FedEx networks.”
The Walgreens rollout is part of the FedEx OnSite programme. FedEx OnSite services are also available in select Albertson’s and Kroger grocery stores.
