FedEx quietly grows same-day delivery business

FedEx’s same-day delivery service has doubled in volume since the start of the pandemic, but the company is content to keep that low key. “You know, we’re very choosy about how we use our precious, precious capacity,” said FedEx Office CEO Brian Philips, adding, “I think we found this sweet spot.” The emerging service operates in 34 major metro areas completing same-day deliveries of lab samples for healthcare facilities, auto parts to dealerships and machine parts to factories, for example.
