FedEx

International parcels from Sandton involve a chain of handoffs—from local pickup through customs paperwork, into airport systems, across borders, and into foreign postal networks. FedEx manages this complexity as infrastructure, not as a favour. Their work includes customs documentation, weight and dimension compliance, duty calculations, and coordination with authorities in destination countries. Load shedding and traffic congestion in Johannesburg's business districts add real friction to same-day collection promises, which is why they maintain dedicated routing. For a courier service to move packages reliably from Sandton to London, Lagos, or Sydney requires systems that account for local South African realities while integrating into global logistics networks. FedEx operates that kind of scale, where individual shipments feed into consolidated consolidations that optimise cost and transit time.
