FedEx International Connect Plus is now available in 24 EU markets, says FedEx Express

Earlier this week, FedEx Express, a subsidiary of Memphis-based global transportation and logistics services provider FedEx, said its international, day-definite e-commerce service—FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP)—has been made available to customers in 24 European countries with connections to 47 global markets.

This follows a ten-market rollout in 2021, in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Austria, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, with the 14 new markets announced this week, including: Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Romania, Slovenia and Switzerland.

FedEx International Connect Plus is part of a portfolio of services that balances speed and cost, according to FedEx, adding it enables shippers to offer the delivery times their customers want and the affordable pricing that gives their businesses an edge. It is available for shipments that weigh less than 70 pounds. What’s more, FedEx said that FICP now connects almost 99% of the world’s GDP, while enabling e-commerce sellers to grow their business in Europe and abroad. And it added that those businesses will be able to ship their products to online shoppers in Europe in 1-3 days, North America in 3-4 days, Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world in 3-5 days at attractive rates, while improving their competitiveness in the market.

“Worldwide e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $5 trillion in 2022 and grow to over $7 trillion in 2025, creating many opportunities for European businesses,” said Wouter Roels, Senior Vice President Marketing International, FedEx Express Europe, in a statement. “With the latest extension of FICP to growth markets in eastern and northern Europe, FedEx Express is supporting businesses on their growth journeys by connecting them to more customers in global and intra-European markets.”
