FedEx shipping

It looks like we will be able to add FedEx as a shipper for some of our products starting this week. UPS Ground has been our shipping service for over 3 years exclusively but we now have the option to use FedEx Home delivery on certain orders.

What’s nice about having this option is the fact that FedEx will deliver on Saturday without the extra cost that UPS Ground charges. While Saturday delivery is not anticipated as a desireable feature to offer our customers, most deliveries are sent to business or work addresses, it will take one day off of orders placed late in the week. For example, if a customer in North Carolina orders a UV filter from us on Friday, they would not receive delivery until Tuesday the next week, but with Saturday considered a shipping day with FedEx, that same order would arrive on Monday instead.

For the time being, we can only use the FedEx service from our Akron Ohio facility, but in time we expect to be able to use them here in Ada Michigan and Phoenix Arizona as well.
