SEOUL, March 19, 2001 - FedEx Express ("FedEx"), the world's largest air express transportation company, today announced the launch of FedEx Service at Kinko's locations in Seoul.
The move means that Korean customers will be able to benefit from the connection between FedEx's reliable and fast international delivery solution and Kinko's convenient and fast document copying and business services.
FedEx will offer an International Shipping Service at Kinko's outlets, enabling both current FedEx customer and new customer to send their shipments 24 hours a day.
Kinko's employees will be trained in FedEx express shipping solutions and FedEx signboards will be installed at Kinko's locations by the end of March.

"The new initiative underscores our mutual commitment to provide customers with complementary services that enhance their experience at FedEx, while delivering the best possible service and convenience to meet their needs," he added.
Both companies serve customers for whom speed and reliability are essential.
