An average FedEx driver can deliver anywhere between 75 and 125 packages per day! This is extremely high if you were to compare it to the home delivery industry at large, where the average is closer to about 15 to 35 per day. Because of this, operational efficiency of deliveries is almost taken care of by itself. The most important advantage they have is the luxury of very high order volumes, and hence density. So, how do they plan their delivery routes efficiently and manage such high delivery volumes logistically? FedEx Ground and Home DeliveryįedEx Ground and Home Delivery services are the last-mile ground shipping arms of the FedEx corporation, an American multinational courier delivery service.Ī single Fedex contractor or ISP can deliver anywhere between 500 to 2,500 packages a day, with fleets ranging from 5 to 25 vehicles.
Both numbers I gave you connected me with English speaking people.Managing local delivery routes is simple & profitable with Routific In all my dealings, I have found them very pleasant and helpful. Then I called this morning to confirm the pickup was made. There was a mixup and first pickup was not made so I had to call and arrange another.
Wherever you start, they are very good to switching you to the right department if necessary. But if the pickup is in the US, I'd suggest starting with the US Department. It may be that if the pickup is in the US but delivery in a foreign country, you also use the international number. I had to use it because Puerto Rico is considered international since it is not one of the 50 states. If you call this number, you can arrange a pickup in any country that FedEx services, other than the US. If you have made a note of this information, add the number of the International Department of FedEx:ġ-800 (or 880 if dialing direct from DR landline)-247-4747. When I investigated how I was going to manage getting something picked up in the US even though I am in the DR, I was told that UPS Dominican Republic can arrange it. I could also have arranged for the pickup by UPS by calling UPS in the Dominican Republic at 80. I set my account up as a US account using the same US address as I used for my credit card. The process of setting up the account would be similar. The phone number above can also be used to arrange pickups elsewhere, not just the US. She apologized and said they only schedule pickups within 2 days of the date, and told me to call back on Tuesday, assuring me that I would just have to give my account number and the pickup would be scheduled. She ask me when and where i wanted to the pickup, I told her Thursday. In the future, I only need to give the account number.ĥ. After this was processed, she told me my account number. This is where i gave credit card info, etc. I was then transferred to the person who was actually going to set up the account. Amazing how much information is in the public domain.Ĥ. Questions included reading a list of properties and asking if I have ever owned or lived at any of the addresses (I hadn't), a list of people that I might have been identified with (in my case, the dead wife of a son was on the list), and the state my Social Security card was issued in. I was surprised at the questions asked me to determine whether I was make a serious request rather than a crank call. Since I didn't have an account, i was transferred to someone to start the process of setting one up. Answer the usual computer generated questions about what you want to do, then when asked, either give your FedEx account number of say you don't have an accountģ. Call 1-80 (if calling from the DR use 880 instead of 800 call not toll free)Ģ. To arrange that from the Dominican Republic:ġ. I need to have something picked up from a doctor's office in Salinas, Puerto Rico and delivered to an address in St Louis, MO Perhaps someone else may have a need for this information.
