FedEx Provides Solutions

If you're going to land that reorder, you have to get 4,000 yards of fabric air-freighted from China, cleared through customs and trucked to two different plants in L.A. by Tuesday.

Miami can handle 8,000 more units, but only if you can get the trim there tomorrow.

And that hot, new style about to be unloaded at the distribution center? The buyer now wants it shipped straight to all 800 stores.

Anyone who knows apparel knows that it's not just about getting products from A to B. It's about being as flexible as spandex and as reliable as leather. And of course, it's about timing. So you need every advantage when it comes to shipping. Such as ground service that can cut days off your long-haul shipments. And visibility tools that show you the locations of shipments in transit — which helps you plan your line and keep your promises. With FedEx, you get those advantages and more. Such as coverage to nearly 100 percent of the U.S. and to 220 countries and territories internationally. Not to mention overnight service within the U.S. That way, everyone from the designers and the distribution centers to the buyers is happy. And you'll all be seeing more of apparel's most popular color — green.
