FedEx offer online discounts

FedEx Corp.’s smaller business customers can save 10 percent on many express services by going online, the delivery company announced Tuesday in a bid to extend discounts to firms that usually don’t qualify for them. (9/5/2001)

Customers can apply for the discount through Nov. 30 by signing up for the FedEx Ship Manager program at the Memphis company’s Web site, www.fedex.com.

The new program may improve volume for FedEx Express, which decreased 9 percent during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. In February, FedEx raised the rates for U.S. air express deliveries by 4.9 percent and increased rates for overseas shipments an average of 2.9 percent.
