First express transportation company to offer chinese language internet-based shipping application in asia
BEIJING, March 22, 2000 -- Federal Express Corporation (FedEx),
the world's largest express transportation company, recently launched
the Chinese version of its latest Internet-based shipping application
- FedEx interNetShip®. FedEx customers can now access the new
software at the company's China-specific web page, which is available
at FedEx's global web site, www.fedex.com.
FedEx interNetShip® is designed to bring total shipping automation
right to customers' desktops. This new technological application
is a great boon for shippers, enabling them to ship to more than
200 destinations worldwide and print shipment documentation from
their own internet-linked computers and laser printers. Shipping
details and delivery information are made available instantly on-line
to both shippers and their recipients.
"FedEx's introduction of the Chinese FedEx interNetShip® is
another significant benefit to Chinese customers after FedEx launched
the Chinese web page last November," said Eddy Chan, FedEx's regional
vice president for China and Mid Pacific Region. "It reinforces
FedEx's commitment to addressing the needs of customers in China.
FedEx is dedicated to providing the world-class service to customers
in China that are synonymous with FedEx standards worldwide."
The new Chinese FedEx interNetShip® enables FedEx customers
in China to fill out a FedEx Air Waybill on line in their local
language instead of handwriting the information. The customers may
also use a laser printer to print the Air Waybill on plain paper.
The FedEx interNetShip® allows customers to create their own
address book with up to 300 names and addresses so that customers
will not have to retype recipient's information. In addition, the
FedEx Ship AlertTM feature of FedEx interNetShip® can automatically
send e-mail notification to up to three recipients and to the shipper
itself when the package has been sent. Via the FedEx's Chinese web
page, customers can track and receive package status information
for up to 25 shipments simultaneously, and forward the detailed
tracking results to up to three email addresses.
