FedEx Introduces International Connect Plus in Philippines

FedEx has launched its FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) service in the Philippines, offering local e-commerce businesses faster, more affordable, and flexible international shipping solutions to key markets in the U.S. and Europe.

Already available in markets like China, Hong Kong, and Japan, FICP now enables Philippine-based e-tailers to compete globally with shipments delivered within two to three business days. This expansion aligns with FedEx’s commitment to support cross-border e-commerce growth, which is projected to hit PHP 969 billion in the Philippines by 2026.

“E-commerce is reshaping global trade, and FedEx® International Connect Plus enables local SMEs to expand their reach with higher efficiency,” said Ms. Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx Philippines.

“This service reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, cost-effective shipping solutions that help Philippine businesses grow and compete in international markets while delivering an enhanced experience to their customers.”

The FICP service provides competitive advantages for e-tailers, including:

• Cost-Effective Delivery: Affordable, day-definite transit options to meet specific customer needs.
• Flexibility: Customers can choose home delivery or pick up from multiple locations, with options to adjust delivery schedules or locations.
• Seamless Integration: Automated online and offline shipping systems for a paperless experience.
• Reliability: End-to-end tracking and notification features via FedEx Delivery Manager® International, including Picture Proof of Delivery for added assurance.

These features make FICP an ideal solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their global footprint while offering reliable services to their customers.

FedEx’s introduction of FICP comes at a pivotal time for Philippine e-commerce, which continues to grow at a rapid pace. With Asia’s e-commerce market forecast to reach USD 13.2 trillion by 2030, the enhanced connectivity provided by FICP positions local businesses to capitalize on international opportunities.

The service also draws on FedEx’s expertise in customs clearance and logistics, ensuring smooth international transactions for businesses and their customers.

By enabling local e-tailers to meet growing global demand with greater efficiency, FedEx strengthens its role in driving the Philippine e-commerce sector forward.
