Audio By Carbonatix

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 24, 2026--

FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today announced the rollout of FedEx SameDay® Local, a delivery offering designed to enable its customers to meet rising consumer expectations for flexibility, control, and convenience while balancing their cost to serve.

“At FedEx, we’re supporting our customers in pushing the boundaries of their value proposition around speed and convenience,” said Jason Brenner, senior vice president, digital portfolio at FedEx. “FedEx SameDay Local will provide our customers with a scaled solution to give the delivery options customers want, without adding complexity to their operations—all backed by the confidence of working with FedEx.”

In collaboration with OneRail, a comprehensive last-mile delivery solution company, FedEx SameDay Local will let shoppers choose two-hour or end-of-day delivery directly at checkout. The service will connect FedEx customers to a national network of more than 1,000 delivery providers, coordinated through intelligent orchestration. Orders are then automatically matched to the appropriate vehicle and driver, dispatched quickly, and tracked with live updates from pickup to delivery.

FedEx SameDay Local will enable:

• Time-definite delivery windows, including two-hour and end-of-day service with a national network
• Near real-time tracking from pickup to drop-off, predictive ETAs, and proof of delivery
• Flexible integration through efficient API connections and full platform support
• Smart orchestration using AI-driven rules to optimize delivery provider selection, routing, and delivery performance
• 24/7 support with proactive monitoring to help stay ahead of delay or disruptions from pickup to arrival
• Ability to fulfill large, oversized, or specialized deliveries

Meeting Consumer Demand and Driving Retailer Success

Consumers don’t just expect “as fast as possible” delivery for every order—they increasingly want choices. Some purchases need to arrive immediately, others must come within a precise time window, and sometimes shoppers want the most economical option and are willing to wait. FedEx SameDay Local expands the company’s delivery offering to give customers the ability to meet this range of preferences.

When it comes to speed, research shows that 96% of shoppers define “fast delivery” as same-day, 80% want to see a same-day option at checkout, and nearly half are more likely to complete a purchase when same-day delivery is available. Visibility is critical to meeting these demands. The recent FedEx Future of Logistics Intelligence Report found that 36% of consumers prioritize reliable delivery windows, yet only 59% of organizations use shipment data proactively to predict and prevent issues, with just 18% able to always intervene to minimize the impact when delays occur. By providing near real-time tracking, predictive ETAs, and automated rerouting, FedEx SameDay Local will help customers close this gap, reduce abandoned carts, and build customer loyalty.

Powering Growth with FedEx Transportation and Digital Solutions

The launch of FedEx SameDay Local expands the company’s ability to support customers across the full delivery lifecycle from long-haul transportation to local last-mile fulfillment. Trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses, the company’s connected ecosystem optimizes delivery routes, reduces costs, and improves reliability at scale.
