Notable improvements in U.S. delivery performance in 2023.

Issue ratio decreased by 3.6% year-over-year (YoY) to 6.4%
On-time delivery ratio remained relatively stable at 98

Average domestic transit times decreased by 24% YoY to 2.56 days

This trend continued into Q1 2024, with average transit time further improving to 2.32 days. Despite recent economic challenges, 2024 U.S. retail e-commerce sales are projected to increase by 10.5% from 2023, according to Statista.

In line with the surge in e-commerce, leading logistics carriers like FedEx, USPS, and UPS have enhanced parcel delivery times through optimized routes, infrastructure upgrades, and advanced package tracking technologies. In Q1 2024, FedEx and UPS implemented improvements in their average transit times to 2.08 days and 2.22 days respectively. USPS, on the other hand, faces an average transit time increase to 2.55 days despite their recent efforts to reduce it.

Recognizing the need to sustain and further these improvements, FedEx and UPS announced a 5.9% average rate increase for their shipping services in 2024.

"The price adjustments reflect incremental costs associated with the current operating environment, while enabling FedEx to continue investing in service enhancement, fleet maintenance, technology innovations, and other areas to serve customers more effectively and efficiently" explained a FedEx spokesperson.
