FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., is enhancing its international delivery services to cater to customers’ growing demand for delivery services in Asia Pacific (APAC).

Customers now have access to FedEx International Economy services connecting the Asia Pacific to 170 markets worldwide. The IE service typically delivers within APAC in two to five business days and to major markets in Europe and the United States in four to five business days. 

“With more customers, particularly online consumers, ranking delivery speed as a less important factor in placing an order, businesses are looking for differentiated solutions,” said Kawal Preet, president of Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, FedEx Express. “This is part of our continued efforts to deliver greater value and an outstanding experience for our customers.”

FedEx said it will also improve transit times for FedEx International Priority (IP) in certain trade lanes. Customers can use IP to ship critical and urgent shipments and enjoy delivery between one to two business days to major markets and territories worldwide. All the enhancements come with FedEx door-to-door, customs-cleared services. *

“Not everything needs to be delivered the next day,” said Salil Chari, senior vice president of Marketing and Customer Experience for the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa region, FedEx Express. “Day-defined delivery is what more of our customers are looking for and our IE service enables us to address customers’ changing needs and expectations to select the service that adds the most value to their business.”

FedEx Express delivers to more than 220 countries and territories and uses a global air-and-ground network to speed the delivery of time-sensitive shipments by a definite time and date.
