Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Federal Express shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Federal Express offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Federal Express at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Federal Express? Wrong! If the Federal Express is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Federal Express then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Federal Express? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Federal Express and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Federal Express wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Federal Express then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Federal Express site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Federal Express, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Federal Express, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

FedEx is a
syllabic abbreviation of the company's original name,
Federal Express.
History
The company was founded as
Federal Express in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas, but moved to
Memphis, Tennessee in
1973 after Little Rock airport officials would not agree to provide facilities for the fledgling airline. The name was chosen to symbolize a national marketplace, and help in obtaining government contracts. The company began operations on
April 17, 1973, with a network of 14 Dassault Falcon 20s which connected 25 U.S. cities. FedEx, the first cargo airline that used only
jet aircraft for its services, expanded greatly after the deregulation of the
cargo airlines sector. The company operates much of its U.S. overnight freight through its Memphis airline hub. Other U.S. hubs are located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Columbus, Ohio; Newark, New Jersey; Oakland, California; Anchorage, Alaska;
Fort Worth Alliance Airport;
LAX;
Miami, Florida; Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport; and, soon,
Greensboro, North Carolina. The Canadian hub operates from
Toronto Pearson International Airport. Due for completion in 2008 is the new Asian-Pacific Superhub in Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in Southern China; replacing FedEx Express' current hub in Subic Bay, Phillipines and increasing service levels and demands in Southern Asia.
In 2005, FedEx Express began expansion of its Indianapolis hub, which by its projected completion in 2010 will be one of the largest FedEx Express hubs.
In August, 1989 the company acquired Flying Tiger Line, an international cargo airline. It inherited Flying Tigers's U.S. military transport contract and carried passengers between the continental United States and overseas military installations until October,
1992. In January,
1998, Federal Express acquired Caliber System, Inc, which owned Roadway Package System, Roberts Express,
Viking Freight, and
Caliber Logistics. When these companies combined, the new organization became known as
FDX Corp. The name "FedEx" had been a popular, if unofficial, abbreviation for Federal Express for several years before the company chose it as its primary brand name in 1994. The new identity was revealed to the world on
June 24, 1994. The "Federal Express" name was eliminated entirely in
2000, when FDX Corporation changed its name to
FedEx Corporation and adopted the
tagline "The World On Time" .In 2000, FedEx and the
USPS signed a 7-year contract to carry all the USPS overnight and high-priority mail throughout the FedEx system. The postal contract has recently been extended until
2012 and USPS continues to be one of the largest customers for FedEx.
In
2001, FedEx acquired American Freightways , a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, and combined them with Viking Freight to create FedEx Freight.In February
2004, FedEx bought
FedEx Kinko's, a
Dallas, Texas-based chain that provides copying/printing and business services, for $2.4 billion (most likely in response to United Parcel Service acquiring
Mailboxes Etc).In May
2006, FedEx acquired the assets of
Watkins Motor Lines, a leader in long-haul LTL freight transportation for $780 million cash. The purchase allowed FedEx to provide more choices for heavyweight deliveries. The company has been rebranded as FedEx National LTL, and is part of the Fedex Freight segment.
In its
advertising, the company made famous the line "Absolutely, positively" for their overnight service; the original phrase was "When it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight." Another slogan, "Relax, it's FedEx", is well recognized. For several years the company promoted the slogan "
Don't panic", particularly on buttons. Throughout Europe, the
marketing tag line is "whatever it takes". One major exception is Interior Alaska outside of Anchorage or Fairbanks local areas. Overnight packages are transferred to the United States Postal Service and then shipped either parcel post or first class mail with no tracking ability. FedEx marks the tracking of these items as "Delivered to customer" when the USPS receives the items.
Major competitors include
United Parcel Service, DHL, and TNT N.V., in addition to post office organizations around the globe.
Operating units and logos
FedEx is organized into operating units, each of which has its own version of the
Wordmark (graphic identity), designed by Lindon Leader of Landor Associates. In all versions, the
Fed is purple. The
Ex is in a different
color for each
division (organisation). The Wordmark (graphic identity) uses a grey
Ex. The original "FedEx" logo saw the
Ex in
orange (colour); it is now used as the FedEx Express wordmark. The award winning FedEx wordmark is notable for containing a hidden right-pointing arrow in the negative space between the "E" and the "X".
