FedEx Priority Alert®
Global service analysts are assigned to you for 24/7 advanced monitoring and proactive notification for your shipments. They will make every attempt to expedite the delivery of any shipment at risk of being delayed.
FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution®
Send multiple pieces for multiple destinations as a single shipment with one consolidated commercial invoice. After clearing customs, we deliver individual packages to their final destinations.
TNT Night Express*
Night Express is a contract service for urgent deliveries before the working day starts. Available in selected markets, it can play a key role in your aftersales strategy, helping improve first-time-on-time repair, boost dealer workshop utilization, and reduce inventory and warehouse locations.
Dangerous goods
We provide Dangerous Goods transportation by road or air for a wide range of fully and partially regulated items. For lithium batteries, specific terms and conditions apply depending on whether they are accessible (ADG) or inaccessible (IDG). This is a value- added service in combination with our core Express service.

Within Europe, we provide a fast, reliable distribution solution for the electric vehicle aftermarket using our European road network. We also transport lithium batteries by air to and from 60 countries worldwide. Our DG capabilities together with our core network services mean we can offer a bundled, one-stop solution for all your shipping needs.
