E-commerce is seeing rapid growth, with the Asia Pacific region holding the largest share of the global B2C and retail e-commerce market. It is expected to account for nearly two-thirds of the worldwide total by 2025. The shopping season extends from months before Christmas through to Lunar New Year in 2025.

In anticipation of increased demand, FedEx offers shipping tips to help businesses and consumers during this festive period. "Early Planning is Key" suggests that avoiding last-minute surprises benefits everyone, as high demand can affect delivery times. Businesses should inform customers about last-order and final shipping dates to manage expectations. Consumers are encouraged to track shipping deadlines to ensure timely delivery.

The company emphasizes "Think Fast and Flexible," noting that shoppers expect quick and adaptable delivery services. Businesses can use solutions like FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) for cost-effective shipping between APAC, the U.S., and Europe within one to three business days. Flexible delivery options such as FedEx pickup locations add convenience for consumers.

For residential customers, FedEx® Delivery Manager International allows recipients to adjust delivery options.

Efficient last-mile delivery solutions are crucial in APAC's diverse environment. FedEx's network covers 43 countries and territories across APAC, providing extensive local touchpoints with over 260,000 pickup locations. Consumers benefit from smart lockers and pickup locations, along with Picture of Proof Delivery for visual confirmation of package arrivals.

The focus on sustainability is growing, with many businesses optimizing operations to reduce environmental impact. Both businesses and consumers are encouraged to develop sustainable online shopping practices by choosing providers embracing sustainable initiatives. In China, 20% of FedEx's pick-up and delivery fleet is electric, and nearly all FedEx-branded cardboard packaging is recyclable.

As year-end demand increases, early planning ensures a successful experience for shoppers and shippers alike. The global FedEx network and digital solutions aim to simplify holiday shipping with fast, flexible, and sustainable options.
