FedEx: Service Disruptions Likely for Berkeley County

by Nikki Gaskins Campbell

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – For residents expecting a FedEx delivery in the coming days, your service may be impacted due to Hurricane Dorian inching closer and closer to the Carolinas.

Depending on your type of FedEx delivery, residents living in all coastal counties in the Lowcountry – including Berkeley County – will be impacted.

FedEx Ground services are partially available to the Lowcountry – including Berkeley County – but they remain dependent on local conditions.

FedEx Express and FedEx Freight have temporarily halted delivery services to the South Carolina Lowcountry – including Berkeley County.

FedEx offices located in downtown Charleston, West Ashley, Mount Pleasant (both locations), North Charleston and North Charleston have temporarily closed.

Hurricane Dorian is expected to produce dangerous storm surge and hurricane-force winds along portions of the Florida east coast and the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

The threat of flash flooding will spread up the southeast U.S. coast today and Thursday, then across the coastal Mid-Atlantic region on Friday.

“Our contingency plans are in place and, as always, our priorities are the safety and well-being of our team members and minimizing the effects of potential storms on service,” FedEx stated in a news release. “FedEx will be prepared to provide service to the best of our ability in areas affected by the storm and as local conditions allow.”

Note that potential service disruptions may not affect FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Office, etc. the same. This may result in different levels of impact as well as cities, states and ZIP Codes serviced.
