FedEx Corp. has introduced a new same‑day local delivery service that partners with last‑mile logistics provider OneRail. The service, called FedEx SameDay Local, offers retailers the ability to provide two‑hour or end‑of‑day delivery windows to customers, leveraging OneRail’s network of more than 1,000 carriers and a large pool of drivers to deliver real‑time tracking, predictive ETAs, proof of delivery, and AI‑driven orchestration.
The launch comes on the heels of FedEx’s strong Q3 2026 earnings, in which the company reported earnings per share of $5.25—an $1.12 beat over the consensus estimate of $4.13—and revenue of $24 billion, up 8% year‑over‑year. The results reflected robust demand in core segments and disciplined cost management, and they reinforced FedEx’s confidence in its Network 2.0 transformation and the planned spin‑off of its freight unit.
FedEx’s new service positions it to compete more directly with Amazon’s rapid‑delivery offerings and other major retailers such as Walmart and Target, all of whom are investing heavily in same‑day logistics. By providing a white‑label solution that can be integrated into existing fulfillment operations, FedEx gives retailers a scalable option that reduces the need for in‑house last‑mile infrastructure.
OneRail’s platform supplies the technology backbone for the service. Its AI‑driven orchestration dynamically selects carriers, optimizes routes, and delivers real‑time visibility to both retailers and end‑customers. The partnership also offers 24/7 support and API integration, allowing retailers to embed the service into their checkout flows without significant development overhead.
The announcement was met with a cautious market reaction, as investors noted the service fills a gap left by the retirement of FedEx’s SameDay City network in 2023. While the launch strengthens FedEx’s competitive position, analysts highlighted valuation concerns and the need for continued cost discipline amid rising fuel and labor costs.
