E-commerce merchants in Asia will now be able to use FedEx’s International Connect Plus (FICP), which provides day-definite e-commerce shipping services, for parcels heading to the USA and Europe.
Already available for e-tailers to send shipments within Asia Pacific markets, the expanded service will be available to e-tailers operating in China, Hong Kong SAR and Japan, with other Asia Pacific markets being added later this year.
The expanded coverage of FICP is the company’s latest effort to support the growth of cross-border e-commerce from Asia to the US and Europe and will enable e-commerce merchants to offer their customers delivery within two to three business days to the US and Europe.
“FICP has been received enthusiastically by our e-commerce customers who value it as the optimal balance of expedited delivery and cost-effectiveness,” stated Salil Chari, senior vice president, marketing and customer experience, Asia Pacific, FedEx. “At FedEx, we are focused on providing businesses with a comprehensive range of shipping solutions tailored to their specific requirements.
The expansion of FICP, in conjunction with our other digital offerings, enhances our ability to support our customers and facilitate the continued growth of cross-border e-commerce from this dynamic region.”
