FedEx Ground is a shipping company which is a subsidiary of the FedEx corporation. It is headquartered in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Originally conceived as a lower cost competitor to UPS, Roadway Package System (RPS) was created to take advantage of new barcode, material handling and computer technologies. After beginning service on March 11, 1985, the company grew, expanding service from its initial coverage of the Mid-Atlantic states, so much so that it eventually became the largest subsidiary of its parent company, Akron-based Roadway Services. By 1996, RPS had achieved 100% coverage of the United States and Canada. In addition, Roadway Services had been reformed as a new holding company called Caliber System, Inc.

In 1997, Fred Smith, founder of FedEx, contacted Dan Sullivan, co-founder of RPS and now president of Caliber Systems, Inc. about merging the two companies. In 2000, FedEx, merged the Caliber System, Inc. operating companies into the FedEx organization with Robert's Express becoming FedEx Custom Critical and RPS becoming FedEx Ground. Viking Freight which initially operated under its original name was re-branded FedEx Freight in 2001.

FedEx Ground now provides 1-5 day delivery of small packages to all 50 states, plus Canada. Ground also delivered to Puerto Rico, but this service was discontinued in 2009. The subsidiary also offers a specialty service known as FedEx Home Delivery which, coupled with Ground, serves all home addresses in the United States.

0.52 min. | 4.95 user rating		 HOW TO SEND A FEDEX PACKAGE AT A FEDEX DROP BOX. Each drop box has supplies like envelopes and airbills for you to use. They take packages too besides envelopes. Each AIRBILL has a TRACKING NUMBER for you to use to keep track of pkg while enroute. Either call or track on www.FedEx.com Each location has a daily CUTOFF time, (some are earlier or later) you need to have your package in before that time to have NEXT DAY delivery. The driver will indicate on the box whether he has picked up already. There will be a little flag or a tag telling you whether he has been there. Sometimes drivers will make several sweeps of a dropbox. So as long as you have your package in before cutoff, the driver will pickup and FedEx will deliver by the commitment time. There are several different EXPRESS services to choose from -considered overnight: 1)FIRST Overnight by 8:00AM-Next BUSINESS Day 2)PRIORITY Overnight by 10:30 - NBD 3)STANDARD Overnight by 15:00 - NBD ***these times are to MOST but not ALL zipcodes-especially if you live in a remote area.Some areas may have later times. 4) TWO DAY -2-Day - by 2 Business Days 5)EXPRESS SAVER-3-Day - by 3 Business Days **and that is Business Days **DONT count WEEKENDS as part of the days.
