Memphis
International Airport is the World's largest freight handling airport.
This is due in
large part to the Fed Ex Hub. Also, with the central location of Memphis
within the United States, many corporations use the city for a worldwide
reach.
UPS offers ground
coverage in 2-3 days for almost 85% of residential locations in the United
States. Both UPS and Fed Ex offer the latest induction time in the
U.S. for next-day shipments.
As a rule
shipping expenses from Memphis are 2-5% less than shipments from either
U.S.
coast.
