FedEx plans Christmas deliveries in some markets after delays

FedEx Corp. plans to run Christmas Day deliveries in some markets to help complete shipments after severe weather spawned delays in the run-up to the holiday.

“FedEx is operating with slight delays this morning, but we are continuing to make adjustments and do everything we can to minimize impact on our customers,” according to an e-mailed statement on Thursday. The company didn’t identify where the slowdowns were occurring.

Customer counters at FedEx Express stations across the U.S. will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday so customers can pick up shipments, the company said.

Weather began triggering service interruptions on Wednesday, FedEx said. “We made operational adjustments to keep our team members safe and to avoid major service disruptions,” the company said.
