Walmart-based FedEx Office locations offer customers convenient
access to packing, shipping and printing solutions near where they
shop, work and live. Customers can also conveniently direct their
packages to be held at any Walmart-based FedEx Office location for
up to five business days either directly or by redirecting using
FedEx Delivery Manager.
“This strategic initiative between FedEx Office and Walmart
builds on a shared goal of providing customers convenience and
value, so they can save both time and money,” said Brian Philips,
CEO of FedEx Office. “The growth of our store network to 500 new
locations brings our brand even closer to busy consumers who have
told us they are seeking secure, reliable options for packing,
shipping and receiving packages.”
“Our busy customers view our stores as a one-stop-shop for all
the products and services they are looking for,” said Daniel
Eckert, Senior Vice President, Walmart Services and Digital
Acceleration. “We know shipping and printing is one such service
they want to access in our stores, so we’re thrilled to expand our
relationship with FedEx so that even more of our busy customers can
take advantage of their pick up, drop off and printing
services.”
The FedEx Office and Walmart rollout is part of the nationwide
expansion of the FedEx retail channel, a network of retail
locations offering FedEx services.
