FedEx is proactively advising its customers to consider transferring their shipping volumes from UPS to FedEx to avoid potential disruptions from a possible strike this summer. In communications with shippers, FedEx highlighted a March 31 deadline for integrating new customer volumes into its capacity planning, in anticipation of a strike that may occur following the expiration of UPS’ labor contract with the Teamsters on July 31.

The messages to FedEx customers emphasize the urgency of switching to FedEx to ensure prioritization of their volume, given that no single carrier can handle all of UPS’ package volume if a strike occurs. FedEx reassured its customers of its commitment to maintaining operations and service levels during any potential demand surge.

This advisory comes at a time when FedEx is dealing with business challenges, including volume declines and increased competition in the parcel delivery sector. The suggested March 31 cutoff allows FedEx to adequately prepare for any influx of parcels, ensuring they can manage the volume effectively.

The potential UPS strike has raised broader industry discussions about the importance of a multi-carrier strategy for shippers, rather than reliance on a single major delivery service. UPS and the Teamsters are set to begin national contract negotiations in April, with UPS expressing optimism about reaching a beneficial contract for all parties involved by the contract expiration date. UPS remains committed to maintaining customer trust and fulfilling their delivery commitments amidst these competitive claims and ongoing negotiations.
