FedEx: US to Hit 100M Packages a Day 4 Years Sooner Than Past Forecasts

Canadian eBay e-commerce sellers will be able to access FedEx shipping services directly through the proprietary eBay Labels printing platform in a “technology enhancement” that builds on the existing eBay-FedEx collaboration, said the companies Monday. The eBay Labels program automatically prefills the shipping information required on a label, and FedEx tracking numbers are automatically added, they said. FedEx projects the U.S. domestic market will hit 100 million packages a day by year-end, four years earlier than previous forecasts. It estimates 96% of the volume will come from e-commerce. Canada is following a similar growth trajectory, it said.
