We deliver packages each business day for 1.8 million shipping customers to 6.1 million consignees in over 200 countries and territories. In 2011, we delivered an average of 15.8 million pieces per day worldwide - or 4 billion for the year. In addition, our supply chain solutions capabilities are available to clients in 175 countries and territories.

 

Although our primary business is the time-definite delivery of packages and documents, we have extended our capabilities in recent years to encompass the broader spectrum of services known as supply chain solutions, such as freight forwarding, customs brokerage, fulfillment, returns, financial transaction and even repairs. We are also a leading provider of less-than-truckload transportation services.
