FedEx Kinko’s escalates expansion, offers convenience & service

FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services has announced an aggressive expansion plan to open 300 new FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Centers® in the U.S. throughout fiscal 2008. This is part of the company’s overall plan to provide small businesses and traveling professionals with even greater access to its office and print services together with a full range of FedEx Express® and FedEx Ground® shipping services.

FedEx Kinko’s already has more than 1,700 locations in operation. To find a FedEx Kinko’s near you, go to fedexkinkos.com and click on Find a FedEx Kinko’s. Then enter your ZIP or Postal Code. When you click on Find locations, you will get a map and directions to your nearest FedEx Kinko’s location as well as the latest drop-off times. Some of these locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Rather than having your shipments picked up, save money by taking them to a FedEx drop-off location near you. If you want to save time too, go online instead of standing in line. If you’re shipping via FedEx Express, go to fedex.com, click on the “Ship” tab to go to FedEx Ship Manager® at fedex.com. There you can print a combined bar code and address label. Then you can simply drop off your envelope or package -- no standing in line and no filling out forms! If you’re shipping via FedEx Ground, don’t forget to click on the Ground End of Day Close Button to transmit your shipping data to FedEx. Take your end of day report with you when you drop off your FedEx Ground shipments.
