FedEx has launched its new international shipping service, FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP), in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. This service is designed specifically for e-commerce packages weighing up to 20 kg, offering fast, cost-effective, day-definite delivery in just 3-4 business days.
FICP is positioned to meet the growing demands of e-tailers seeking reliable, affordable shipping solutions. The service combines speed with competitive rates, making it ideal for businesses expanding their cross-border reach. The Middle East’s e-commerce market is growing rapidly, projected to reach USD 50 billion by 2025, driven by technology adoption and investments in digital infrastructure.
Nitin Tatiwala, Vice President of Marketing and Air Network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa, highlighted that FICP allows e-tailers to scale their businesses and meet customer demands with tailored shipping solutions. The service is enhanced with digital tools that offer full tracking visibility, delivery notifications, and options for flexible delivery times, including weekend and evening deliveries, through FedEx® Delivery Manager.
FedEx® International Connect Plus also includes Picture Proof of Delivery (PPoD), offering recipients visual confirmation of their package delivery, even when they’re not home. This service provides greater control, convenience, and reassurance to online shoppers.
