Customers to benefit from new delivery options and broader
coverage
BEIJING, June 26, 2000 - Federal Express Corp., the world's
largest express transportation company, is expanding its
international freight services to provide more delivery options
to more countries.
Three new FedEx International Priority Freight delivery options
will be made available for U.S. outbound and inbound shipments
beginning July 1: Door to Airport (DTA), Airport to Airport
(ATA) and Airport to Door (ATD). These options are in addition
to the existing Door to Door (DTD) service.
FedEx International Priority Freight and FedEx International
Economy Freight will provide service to five and ten more
countries, respectively. Both services will offer upgraded
weight allotments of up to 2,200 lbs. per piece or more with
prior approval and a maximum declared value limitation of
US$100,000.
"FedEx will offer the most comprehensive international freight
service in the industry backed by a money-back guarantee,
real-time tracking and advanced customs clearance," said
Carl Asmus, FedEx vice president of global product marketing.
"This translates into FedEx customers being able to use our
enhanced international freight products to combine pick-up,
line-haul and four delivery options to meet their every day
business needs, however diverse they may be."
Four simple rate tables will make it easier for customers
to receive fast rate quotes and estimate pricing up front.
Customers will also find it easier to audit expenditures
when necessary.
"The current international airfreight market is at US$32
billion and growing at a rate of 6.5 percent annually with
countries such as China, Japan and Taiwan leading the way,"
said David L. Cunningham, President, FedEx Asia Pacific Division.
"FedEx's new international freight offerings provide our
customers with an industry leading product to succeed in
this rapidly growing market."
