New service meets growing demand for diverse and cost-effective shipping solutions
FedEx Express has launched FedEx® Regional Economy and FedEx® Regional Economy Freight services to cater to the increasing demand for cross-border trade in the Middle East region. The deferred, day-definite road services offer businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cost-effective shipping solutions for less urgent shipments within key countries in the Middle East.
FedEx® Regional Economy and FedEx® Regional Economy Freight utilize the Middle East Road Network (MERN) to offer seamless connectivity between Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, while ensuring the safe and secure transportation of goods using real-time track and trace via fedex.com.
Express Clearance
With this service, shipments will have express clearance with competitive transit times between three to five business days for Regional Economy and four to six business days for Regional Economy Freight between key Middle East markets, according to a corporate press communique.
The FedEx Regional Economy services are ideal for businesses across diverse industries, including automotive, electronics, oil and gas, fashion and retail, chemicals, e-commerce, and healthcare. These industries have different shipping requirements ranging from lightweight parcels to heavyweight shipments. Businesses can use the economy road service to ship palletized or irregular-sized goods or goods that cannot fit in standard-size air shipping containers.
“At FedEx we are constantly strengthening our service offerings to meet evolving customer demands. We are seeing businesses prioritize day-definite delivery over speed, recognizing that not all shipments are urgent and require next-day delivery,” commented Taarek Hinedi, Vice President, FedEx Express Middle East and Africa Operations.
