Who is FedEx?
FedEx began as Federal Express in the United States in 1971 and has grown into one of the world’s largest express transportation companies. FedEx established express and freight operations in Australia in 1989. Following FedEx’s global acquisition of TNT Express, FedEx Express and TNT combined into a single Australian entity, FedEx Express Australia Pty Ltd, from April 2021. For World Options Australia customers, FedEx services focus on international shipping, import and export services, and cargo and freight consignments, rather than domestic Australian delivery.
