UPS, FedEx support Apple rollout of new devices - American Shipper
One of the most anticipated product launches of the year, short of a coronavirus vaccine, is now underway. Express delivery giants UPS and FedEx are utilizing a host of logistics capabilities to import the Apple iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Air, and then deliver them to retail stores, distribution centers or customers’ homes.
With customers ordering more online because of challenges associated with being in public during the pandemic, Apple is using its more than 300 stores as local distribution centers, according to a report by Bloomberg. UPS and FedEx will pick up orders at stories for final delivery. Apple will analyze the delivery address and decide the best distribution option.
Apple began fulfilling orders on Friday, but UPS was busy before prepositioning products in 20 countries.
