FedEx launches infomercial spoof
FedEx has launched five, 3-minute web-exclusive videos featuring Fred Willard (Anchorman, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show) in a series of entertaining, informative infomercial send-ups called, “1,2,3 Succeed!”
Lunch with Jordan Coletta
About a year ago, we were down in Atlanta at UPS and had the opportunity to have lunch with Jordan Coletta who is vice president of customer technology marketing for UPS.
We credit Jordan with assisting us in educating NRGship customers that they don’t need to provide an End of Day report to their UPS Driver. More for those who don’t know this here. It was Jordan’s idea to have our software print out this notice after a customers first shipment is processed using NRGship. Thanks Jordan!
NRG is a strategic level partner in the UPS Ready program which Jordan oversees. UPS has recently announced upgrades to the program and Jordan joined Practical eCommerce’s Kerry Murdock to discuss those upgrades. Take a listen.. If you hang in to the 12:00 minute mark, he makes a mention of NRG. Thanks again Jordan!
Just Like Pizza
FedEx recently announced that they’ve improved package trackability. We couldn’t help but notice that it looks strikingly similar to the “Patented” Pizza Tracker at Dominos.

Just Another Friday at the Office
Pulling into the parking lot, I noticed a unmarked (white) DHL truck behind me. It pulled up to the building, two guys jumped out and quickly threw the drop box into the back. It sure seems that they are fast-tracking the halt of domestic services. If you’re relying on DHL for your shipments, you may want to check out the UPS Switch and Save program.

DHL to Focus on Intl shipments
As expected, DHL announced today that it’s going to focus on international shipments for US-based origins. Domestic services will end Jan 30, 2009. International shipping stays as-is. Operating costs are reduced by over 80%.
