FedEx has opened 68 new FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers (FASCs) at Emirates Post branches to improve the accessibility of its retail services across the UAE.
The FASCs will enable walk-in customers to access FedEx international shipping services without the need for an account, with customers able to ship documents and packages from all emirates.
Nitin Tatiwala, vice president of marketing, customer experience and air network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa, said, “At FedEx, we are committed to delivering outstanding customer experiences by simplifying logistics and making our solutions more accessible.
“This collaboration allows us to significantly expand our retail access points across the UAE through Emirates Post’s extensive local network, bringing fast, reliable and efficient services closer to communities. It also strengthens the UAE’s connectivity to global markets while adapting to the evolving needs of local consumers.”
Through the FASCs, customers will have access to a range of FedEx services, including FedEx International Priority service, which delivers within two to three business days to major markets around the world. Customers can also choose FedEx Regional Economy, a cross-border, customs-cleared, door-to-door road service with day-definite delivery.
Ayoub Ahli, general manager of Emirates Post, explained, “Our continued collaboration with FedEx underscores Emirates Post’s vision of transforming the largest branch network in the UAE for postal and logistics services into an inclusive gateway that connects communities with global markets. By integrating FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers within our branches, we are reaffirming our commitment to enhancing accessibility and customer convenience.
“More importantly, this move aligns with the UAE’s national agenda, empowers businesses, simplifies logistics for individuals, and ensures that world-class international shipping solutions are within reach for all, wherever they are across the Emirates.”
The opening of the FASCs follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding by FedEx and Emirates Post in January 2025 – read more on that here.
