"FedEx SameDay Local will provide our customers with a scaled solution to give the delivery options customers want, without adding complexity to their operations," said Jason Brenner, senior vice president of digital portfolio at FedEx.

The service includes 24/7 monitoring support and can handle large, oversized, or specialized deliveries. Integration is available through API connections and platform support.

According to research cited by FedEx, 96% of shoppers define fast delivery as same-day, and 80% want to see same-day options at checkout. The company's Future of Logistics Intelligence Report found that 36% of consumers prioritize reliable delivery windows.
