Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODP), a leading global provider
of office products, services, and solutions, through its
Office Depot and OfficeMax brands, today announced the expansion of
its relationship with FedEx (NYSE: FDX), which, beginning Sept. 2,
is offering customers in 1,513 retail locations throughout the
country access to FedEx shipping services and solutions.
The convenience of Office Depot’s retail store footprint and
extended hours—open early in the morning, late at night and on
weekends—combined with the FedEx global network makes the company’s
stores a one-stop-shopping and shipping destination for
customers—individual, business, small business and more.
FedEx has teamed up with OfficeMax stores since 2009 to provide
convenient access to its portfolio of offerings including FedEx
Express®, FedEx Ground® and FedEx® International services. In
addition, customers will have access to a number of additional
service options, including signature confirmation and Saturday
delivery.
“The seven-year relationship with FedEx has proven to be
beneficial not only for our companies, but for the customers we
serve,” said Ron Lalla, executive vice president of merchandising
for Office Depot, Inc. “We have seen an increase in the use of
FedEx shipping services and solutions in our OfficeMax retail
stores, and look forward to rolling them out to our entire chain
early next month.”
Customers have the flexibility and convenience of choosing from
these service and solution options in all Office Depot and
OfficeMax retail stores:
- Express, International, Ground (1-5
days depending on location)
- FedEx Express – FedEx First Overnight®,
FedEx Priority Overnight®, FedEx Standard Overnight®, FedEx 2Day
A.M.®, FedEx Express Saver®
- FedEx International Priority®, FedEx
International Economy®, FedEx International Ground®
- FedEx Ground – FedEx Ground®
Commercial, FedEx Home Delivery®
Not only can customers drop off packages as late as 9
p.m., Monday through Friday, 8 p.m. on
Saturday, and 7 p.m. on Sunday in most Office Depot
and OfficeMax locations, but FedEx Ground is also faster to more
locations than its primary competitor.
In addition, retail store associates will prepare packages
including shipping documents for customers, and accept pre-labeled
FedEx Express and FedEx Ground packages for drop-off.
“With this expansion, FedEx is significantly increasing the
number of locations that give busy customers convenient new options
to ship and drop off packages,” said Randy Scarborough, vice
president of marketing at FedEx. “FedEx is proud to work with
nationally-recognized retail brands like Office Depot and
OfficeMax.
