FedEx Imposes Limits To Stem Flood Of Deliveries - PYMNTS
FedEx Corp. could be the first major delivery company to limit the number of items retailers can ship to protect its network from being overwhelmed during COVID-19, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Among the two dozen retailers who have been notified by FedEx of the unusual limits include Kohl’s, DSW, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Hobby Lobby, Eddie Bauer and Bed Bath & Beyond.
“These customers have seen significant volume growth since the spread of COVID-19,” FedEx wrote in a notice to its workers reviewed by the WSJ. “In a time of already high-volume growth, capping the number of packages to be picked up at these locations will limit any negative impacts to the FedEx Ground network.”
