Global courier delivery service company FedEx Express says it has reduced by one working day the delivery time for its international outbound express services in six Chinese cities - Fuzhou, Xiamen, Chongqing, Chengdu, Changchun and Xian.

The company said in a statement that the transit time for FedEx International Priority and FedEx International Economy shipments from these cities to America, Europe and other parts of the world will now be reduced by one working day.

Said FedEx Express China vice president Eddy Chan: "Fast and reliable international shipping is critical to the success of our customers who go abroad. This will shorten the bridge between these six cities."

In July, FedEx accelerated its international outbound express services FedEx International Priority, and FedEx International Priority Freight by one to two days in seven cities, including Dalian, Yantai, Weihai, Jinan, Zibo, Zhengzhou and Chongqing.
