Service Impact due to technical issues with our sorter systems in Novara Hub, Italy
FedEx Express anticipates continued service impacts in Italy today, (7 September, 2023), and over the next few days, due
to technical issues with our sorter systems in Novara Road Hub, Italy.
With immediate effect, all new domestic on call pick-up requests in Italy are suspended until further notice. Regular
domestic pick-up requests will continue as usual, but will suffer service delays to the North West area of Italy.
• There is no impact to FedEx/TNT International Priority shipments
• All FedEx/TNT International road services from Italy to Europe will continue
All Domestic and International road inbound shipments that entered Novara hub as of 6 September, 2023 will
experience significant delays to quoted transit times, especially those items to Lombardia, Piemonte, Liguria and Valle
d'Aosta.
This is not applicable for customers outside of the station/depot locations listed above, and transit quotation tools
and online shipping applications will be updated to reflect these changes.
