FedEx Express is putting Australasian businesses in the fast lane to the United Kingdom and Europe.

FedEx Express puts Australian and New Zealand businesses in the fast-lane to success in Europe and the UK, with fast, reliable air and ground delivery networks, and value-added services that drive business costs down while increasing productivity and speed to market.

Speed to market – the vital competitive edge
Australian and New Zealand products are experiencing increasing demand in Europe and the UK. But whether it is wine for export, textiles or Australian-made medical supplies, the distance means Australasian goods must have a faster delivery to market in order to maintain a vital competitive edge against closer regions – the Americas, Middle East, Asia or Europe itself.

The fastest way to European and UK markets is with air-express delivery. In Australia’s highly-respected return-and-repair industries more than A$500m of goods were delivered by air to the UK alone in 2001, while almost a million kilograms of Australian-made medical supplies and equipment were delivered by air to the UK.

In addition to this, the growth in e-business – with online business-to-business sales estimated to reach more than US$5.2trillion worldwide in 2004 – has only increased the need to get products to customers on time. Delivery issues at key times such as Christmas or Mother’s Day have clearly shown that companies cannot rely on traditional ad-hoc delivery relationships. Successful companies will be those that cut delivery times and guarantee quality through a seamless and transparent logistics process, and by developing strong, open partnerships with delivery and fulfillment firms.
In 2002, more Australian and New Zealand businesses are turning to FedEx as their total delivery and supply chain services partner for the fastest shipments to and from the UK and Europe.

EuroOne Network
FedEx connects Australasian businesses to the dynamic European market place via its EuroOne Network. With a hub located in Paris and airports throughout Europe and the UK, FedEx offers the fastest delivery to hundreds of cities, via integrated air and ground delivery routes.

FedEx operates daily flights to Europe using its own all-cargo MD11 aircraft; customers have the assurance that their shipments will not be offloaded en route to make way for passenger luggage.

International Priority Distribution
With FedEx International Priority Distribution (FedEx IPD), Australasian businesses save time and money by sending multi-destination consignments to a country under a single air waybill.

An advanced shipment tracking system means customers have real-time information about their delivery from door-to-door by clicking onto FedEx’s web page or calling its customer service hotline.

In addition to its online tracking, FedEx has pioneered services such as full-service customs brokerage and electronic online inventory-management and ordering systems.
At FedEx, reputation is staked on being the best. Nothing is too big or too small for FedEx. From a single package to an entire shipment, FedEx can get it there for you.

Companies such as Sony and the great Australian clothing and footwear manufacturer RM Williams have also used FedEx’s superior e-business products to integrate FedEx into their customer website. With this technology, developed by FedEx, online shoppers throughout the world can order anything from computers to work boots and have them express-delivered by FedEx at the click of a button.

FedEx is strategically located in all capital cities in Australia and New Zealand for pick-up and delivery. For customers wishing to drop off a package, FedEx has World Service Centres in most capitals, or customers can phone FedEx’s customer service hotline to find out their nearest drop-off location.
