FedEx

Overnight delivery service

FedEx is an American package delivery company known for overnight and express shipping.

The name, from Federal Express, has become a verb meaning to send something via overnight courier—not necessarily through FedEx itself: Can you FedEx this to the client?

The verb implies speed and reliability more than the specific carrier.
