FedEx Launches Same-Day Local Delivery via OneRail to Rival DoorDash
FedEx will offer same-day local delivery via a white-label partnership with OneRail, enabling merchants to provide two-hour or end-of-day shipments through a network of over 1,000 couriers. The move pits FedEx against Amazon Flex, Walmart Spark Delivery and DoorDash in the high-growth final-mile logistics market.
1. FedEx Unveils SameDay Local Service
FedEx has launched SameDay Local, allowing merchants to offer two-hour or end-of-day delivery directly at checkout. The service features live tracking, automated dispatch, predictive ETAs and proof of delivery to enhance customer convenience.
2. OneRail Partnership and Network
Final-mile delivery will be outsourced to OneRail, leveraging its platform to access over 1,000 independent couriers nationwide. The white-label solution preserves merchants’ brand control and customer data while sourcing the optimal carrier for each shipment.
3. Competitive Impact on DoorDash
FedEx’s entry into same-day local delivery intensifies competition with DoorDash, Uber Eats and Walmart Spark in small-parcel logistics. Broader coverage and potential price advantages may compel DoorDash to lower rates or enhance service offerings to maintain market share.
