FexEx Shipping Center in Peru to Shut Down by September
FedEx Shipping Center in Peru to Permanently Close
In a surprising move, FedEx has announced the permanent closure of its shipping center located on Progress Boulevard in Peru. The closure is set to take effect on September 27, 2025.
The decision is part of FedEx's broader network restructuring strategy, according to a company email sent out on Monday evening. The facility at 3708 Progress Blvd has been providing shipping services such as drop-offs, supplies, and package pickups for redirected deliveries.
FedEx has emphasized that the decision to close the center was made thoughtfully, and employees affected by this closure were notified several months prior. The company plans to offer many of these employees other roles within the company, along with job placement assistance, relocation support, or severance packages.
However, the closure inevitably results in a reduction of jobs at this location, although the exact number of job losses was not specified in the available information.
Local authorities have expressed regret over the closure, viewing it as a loss for the community. Efforts were made to persuade FedEx to reconsider or possibly relocate to another site, such as near the airport. The closure might redirect some shipping demand to the local post office, potentially influencing local business dynamics.
For customers who use the FedEx shipping center, the company has provided a link to find the nearest FedEx location.
