FedEx Express is broadening its early delivery service, known as ‘International First’, increasing the number of origin markets to include 31 new countries.

The service is now available in: Austria, Bahrain, Belize, Bolivia, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, Guiana (Guyana), Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Poland, Singapore, Suriname (Surinam), Sweden, Thailand and United Arab Emirates.

This expansion brings the total number of origin markets to 97, and means that customers can now use FedEx International First to ship packages from the above countries to any of the existing International First destination markets.

Depending on origin and destination, FedEx International First shipments arrive within one to three business days, often at the start of the business day. The service is most often used for business documents, electronic and high tech equipment, medical devices, clinical trials and gear for the entertainment industry–shipments that require delivery on a tight deadline.
