Printable Version FedEx Operating Plan – Olympic Period 23 July – 9 September
Through the use of our dedicated FedEx Project Team we believe we can continue to offer, as much as possible, a ‘business as usual’ service over this exciting time.
We are pleased to announce that FedEx will not be imposing any additional surcharges in connection with any deliveries that may be affected by the Games this summer. However there are some areas of our service where we have had to make changes.
Collection Times
Some of our collection times will be changing quite significantly to allow for increased security checks and traffic on the roads. Please visit here to find out more or speak to your local courier or local depot/station.
Delivery Restrictions
Information regarding which postcodes are impacted by road races and venues is available online to help you understand the impact of the Games at a local level day by day.
Extended opening hours
We are pleased to announce extended opening times in many of our depots/stations to help give you greater flexibility to manage any drop offs or collections you may have.
Money Back Guarantee
Our Money Back Guarantee is still valid in most of the UK, with the exceptions being identified postcodes in Greater London and Weymouth areas. You can find out which postcodes are not covered by checking online.
You can remain assured of FedEx doing all it can to keep your shipments moving during the Games and being your global logistic partner.
