Time-definite cross-border deliveries across Africa
FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. has launched its International Priority Express (IPE) service, which provides a wider range of time-definite international priority shipping options to its customers.
The service provides customers in Africa with delivery by 10:30 or noon to select markets in Asia, the US, Canada and Europe, while Fedex International First service offers customers in Africa the option for early-day delivery to specified markets, and the company’s International Priority (IP) offers end-of-the-day delivery to more than 220 countries and territories around the globe.
The company emphasises that these time-definite cross-border delivery options are part of its efforts to support businesses amidst the soaring demand for cross-border commerce, noting that across the Middle East and Africa, the freight and cargo market is expected to reach $315-billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 4% by 2027.
Express logistics forms a critical part of the cross-border e-commerce value chain. Statistics show that consumers expect fast, customisable, and convenient delivery options and close to 15% of online shoppers would not make a repeat purchase if their shipment did not arrive on time.
“IPE is an enhanced service with delivery windows early in the day for critical time-sensitive shipments. The expanded range of solutions we now offer gives businesses of all sizes greater control, by providing them with more choices that match their needs,” said FedEx Express president: Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region Kawal Preet.
